4-5 players per cone box. Defender(s) in the box, attackers outside it. Pass around or through the box. Whoever is dispossessed or intercepted switches with the defender. Variations/progressions: 3v1, 4v1 or 3v2. If 3 attackers, attacker must change to a different side after passing. Defender touch is a turnover. Remove the cones. GK: can be attacker or defender. To help integrate GK: If attacker, GK starts with tackle immunity until confident with activity. If defender, GK defends in a pair until confident with activity.
I used this as a warmup to a penalty corner practice session. Feedback Attackers: pre-scan so you are ready to pass on receiving. 3 seconds and release. Defenders: be aggressive in closing space and make yourself big.
