Possession Soccer Drills - Stay out the middle

Purpose: The purpose of this drill is to help your team retain possession of the ball and split the defenders to be able to play a pass that breaks defensive lines. Set up: • 20 x 45 yard area • 1 soccer ball • 3 teams of 4 Instructions: Set up your area and divide it into three equal thirds that are 20 yards wide and 15 yards long. Each team of 4 will have its own area, with the team in the middle section becoming the defending team. The goal of the outside teams is to maintain possession of the ball. Every time they are able to play passes through the middle section and to the team on the opposite side that will count as one point.
