A.
4 players play in square marked with 4 cones approx 3 metres.
Attacking players play along the sides outside the square and try to complete as many passes as possible. They can move around the square but only 1 player per side.
Run in segments of time with the defender in the centre for a couple of minutes before all change. Run until each has been in the middle - bring in for quesitons then run again.
B.
Play again but with three boxes in a line. Players will all be inside the box.
Attackers must each touch the ball inside the square and then progress into the next square - trying to get to the end.
If the defeder intercepts the ball the game starts back in box 1.
Swap the defender either after a set amount of time or when the attackers complete box 3.
A.
Moving around square behind the defender to create the angles that you need.
Using deception and watching the defender to see which side is open/closed for the pass.
B.
Ask players if it feels more difficult. It shoul because they don't have the safety of being outside of the square, however they are able to create more, different angles by being inside.
Composure: game can be won with 6 passes! Don't let the pressure of moving towards the "goal" draw you into making rushed or bad passes. Keep the ball until a pass is on. Force or wait for the defender to commit.
After the 1st pass, the defender may realise that they can man-mark the 3rd player out of the game. If this happens either:
i) use as a coaching point - attackers need to know how to make space to post into. Dynamic movement behind a front marking defender.
ii) if it's killing the drill then allow 6 passes to progress through the boxes. This should stop the defender man-marking.
