Keep Ball

Love the site, it's a fantastic learning tool!

DESCRIPTION

6+ players form a circle with an attacking player and a defensive player in the middle.

The attacking player starts with the ball, passing it to a member of the outer circle and then directing where they would like to receive the 1-2.

They repeat this process, switching direction and changing where they pass the ball each time. They cannot pass to the outer player on either side of the one who just received the pass.

It is the defensive player's job to intercept the pass of the attacking player. They are not allowed to simply tackle the attacker, the defensive player MUST intercept a pass.

This process continues until the defensive player successfully wins the ball from the attacking player.

The two players in the middle then swap with two from the outer circle and the drill resumes.

COACHING POINTS

Encourage the attacking player to change direction frequently as opposed to just making their way around the circle in one direction.

The defensive player should essentially be "Man Marking" the attacking player, anticipating their next pass or move.

The players should be encouraged to progress onto one touch football. Each pass from the outer circle tshould be returned one touch and so on.
