Pressing the long ball and winning the second ball.
Create three areas, the middle area being slightly larger.
At both end put players on teh same team who have to play long balls over the top of the team in the middle.
If the pass is successfull, the team must return the ball back over the top.
Once the ball is lofted in the zone, if the control is bad or the pass is wayward, the team must react quickly to keep the ball.
There will be one attacker allowed into the target zone from the middle to press the ball coming in. This player must always start in the middle zone until the ball is played.
Communication and awareness is needed from the middle team.
If the defending team win the ball, they swap places with the team on the far end.
