Practice 1.
Structure:
-Set up as above. You can use football cones as markers like the diagram.
-Vary the distances.
Rules
-The reds try to pass the ball to each other.
-They can do this by either passing directly to each other or use the whites.
-The yellows in the middle try to prevent the ball transferring from one red to the other.
-If the ball is central the yellows must prevent the straight pass.
-If the ball is wide with the whites they move laterally as shown in the diagram.
Progressions
-Same process with back 3,4 etc.
-Add a counter attack 2v1 if the defenders win the ball.
Practice 2.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above keeping the distances to around 8-12 yards.
Rules:
-Place a red and white player at each end on the outside.
-They combine trying to pass the ball end.
-When the ball is one end the red and white player can swap places trying to confuse the yellow defender.
-The yellow defender must prevent the red player receiving the ball. –The defender will allow the white player to receive the ball but not the red.
-To help they must check their shoulders.
Progressions:
-Add a player also in the middle who can receive the ball causing even more problems for the yellow defender.
