Straight forward passing and moving drill with only two touches on the ball.
The blue players off the ball can only receive the ball at one of the four cones in each corner of the area and the red player is trying to intercept the ball.
Progressions:
1. Defender walks through the activity, then progresses to passive and finally active resistance.
2. Allow players to move away from the corners and play freely in the area.
The blue players should keep moving so that the blue player in possession always has two options to choose between, one of which is probably already cut off by the red player.
Players should disguise their intentions so that they can wrong foot the defender.
Make sure players are calling for the ball when they are in space to receive the pass.
