We play ball posession game 3v3 1 extra who can move free and plays with team in possession.
You can make it also competition after they learn the idea. 10 passes is a goal. Team that has five points win a match.
Free game, we only restrict the team with possession. They can have only one player in each square at same time. You can pass the ball to another player to another zone or if you see free zone you can drive the ball there. Defending team can move how they will, but you can also manipulate the exercise by making same rule to defending team. That is a way to make it clearly 1v1 situations where you have to be able to control ball and protect it while looking to pass away under pressure.
Adjust the size of the playing area. We have to make it very small so that players can not just pass the ball around. We probably have to coach defending team also to press heavily and to move to press while ball is moving.
We keep the same theme, protecting the ball.
Key points for attacking players: 1) Always keep ball away from opponent - set your body between ball and opponent also when you drive the ball, 2) Lower your body to have better balance while in struggle with defender, 3) Use your arms, 4) Know where from the opponent is pressing you from (check over your shoulders before receiving the ball and turn to other way), 5) Try to find a way out (passing or by turning)

Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
