groups o 5 or six. one person is bibbed in the middle, everyone else has to try and keep possesion of the football and keep it in the square.
The bibbed player has 1 minute to win the ball back as many times as possible, every time the ball gets kiscked out of the session the coach introduces a new ball.
At the end of the minute the players keeping possesion have to do as many burpees/squats/pressups as times they lost the ball. Whilst they do this the coach and bibbed player collect the balls in.
Swap around so evertyone gets a go in the middle.
Introduce rules such as 2 or touches on the ball, or they have to touch a cone beforee they can recieve a pass to make it harder for the team keeping possesion
collect possesion with correct foot, first touch away from the defender.
