Straight SSG but limiting touches.
Start with 3 touches in final 1/3, 2 touches in middle 1/3 and unlimited touches in defensive 1/3.
Allow them play and get used to the constraints, no instructions only praise for good limited touch play.
Progression - Change the areas in which the limited touches are.
Understand how the players react to each area and whether players attract to certain areas dependant on the touches.
Do they understand as to what number of touches is best for each area?
Coaching Points - Minimal as it is player lead. If they identify low number of touches best seek for them to develop this in free play.
