Set up a square playing area about 1/8th of the pitch. In each corner needs to be a 2 yard x 2 yard square. 6 players a side. The aim of the game is to see how many times the ball con be dribbled or passed to a player in the box, (consecutive boxes) without being tackled or intercepted by the other team.
There are two tactics for this drill: In or near a box - When in possession of the ball, 2 or so players could be stood either in or very close to a box, so the ball can be passed directly in. Posting to a box - When in possession, all players are constantly on the move. A weighted pass could be sent in the direction or directly into a box for a player to run onto.
