Initial setup. 1 has the ball at the top, 5 on the left wing.
DESCRIPTION
Players keep possession within their actual playing positions in a half-pitch grid. Drills the realistic pass selections and movement patterns each role demands in a match.
COACHING POINTS
• Stay in your zone — only leave to support an immediate pass
• Centre-backs split wide to receive from the keeper
• Full-backs push high to provide width
• Midfielders rotate — always one dropping, one holding
• Forwards stretch the defence by pinning the back line
Progression: add a defending team trying to win the ball. Add a target/goal at the top of the area.
Regression: no opposition, walking pace, focus on shape only.
