This is the one of the football training drills for the men’s U20’s Turks and Caicos national team.
Drill 1.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above keeping the distances roughly 8-10 yards.
Rules:
-If the ball is in front of the player they press.
-The player receiving the ball must pass left and run right or vice versa.
-The process continues. I would maybe run this in hands first.
Progressions:
-Get players pressing to block a pass and then apply pressure making the play predictable.
-Once the player has blocked a pass, applied pressure they can now track the runner.

**
The opposition decided to play long ball as a result of this condition. The blues then decided to let them have 2 free passes and then go man for man. Now they were winning the ball near the goal and creating chances.
