- The focus of this drill is all about man marking players and forcing them to send the ball back out the box/ not turn into the middle to find another player.
- There are three players in the middle from each team. They should be encouraged to man mark, however they can switch players as they would do in a game.
- Players on the outside can't be tackled if they receive the ball. They can move with the ball (dribble) and pass to other players. Additionally, they can run around the outside to help support the player.
- The aim is for the team to make 5 clean passes. This includes passes to the outside players.
