Purpose
The purpose of this drill is a good way to introduce the basics of possession soccer.
4v1 scenarios gives the players an appropriate amount of pressure that enables them to get success but also challenges them.
Set up
- 7×7 yard area
- 1 soccer ball
- 5 players ( 1 defender)
How it works
Set up your area and place 4 players on the outside of the square (1 per side) with 1 player in the middle.
The players on the outside must see how many passes in a row they can get before the defender is able to steal the ball.
When the defender steals the ball they will swap with the player that gave the ball away.
Keep track of the high score of consecutive passes and encourage players to beat the high score
