Split your field in three zones with flat cones.
PROGRESSION 1
Place 2 attackers (blue) in zone 1 and one defender (red) in all three zones.
Defender in zone 1 becomes active as soon as the coach provides the first pass. Defenders are not allowed to defend beyond their zone.
Aim of the attackers is to to decide whether to pass or dribble past the defender to the next zone. The supportive player (second attacker) has to provide support to his team mate and move. When they reach zone 3 they can take a shot towards the goal.
If a defender wins the ball he can run towards the 2 pugs to score.
PROGRESSION 2
Same sequence but now place 3 attackers and 2 defenders in each zone
