- Goalkeepers should be vocal, as this will assist the defensive set up
- Ball pace is key
- Add in additional players to restrict space and increase pressure
- Reduce number of players to increase intensity of drill
- Introduce rules (number of touches, only the Goalkeeper can talk, maximum time spent in each box, must change box once you've played a pass etc.)
