the aim of the drill is to improve players passing and possession based skills (passing, recieving the pass, communication, coordination)
start play with the goalkeeper, play the ball to one of the players to start the possession movement. focus the play on keeping the passes short, and contolled, making sure they are powerful enough and accurate too.
encourage players to imagine they are in a game situation, and that they must play the pass quickly to avoid being intercepted.
PROGRESSION:
*intergrate defenders into the drill if you have a large group of players (alternatively reduce the number of attacking players and the size of the pitch)
*add goals to create a game situation for the players to carry this style of play into a game situation.
