* no goalkeepers- the focus of this drill is possession and build up play, not scoring goals. the goals are there to have an objective still, but the game is not focused on scoring goals.
To start the drill, the ball is played into the playing area by one of the players on the touchline. these players can also be used during the play to help relieve pressure from the middle of the pitch. The aim of the in-pitch players is to build up to a goal at the other end.
