Coaching Notes

Instructions

Set up a 10x10m square marked by cones. Four attackers stand on the corners (diamond), one defender starts in the middle. Attackers keep possession using one- or two-touch passing. If the defender wins the ball or it goes out, rotate the player who made the error into the middle.

Learning Points

First-touch direction, scanning before receiving, quick decision-making under pressure, disguised passing angles.

Variations

Rotate the defender every 60 seconds regardless of turnovers, so everyone gets repetitions defending.
