11 drills
Possession in 25x25 m with two teams of four and three neutrals (two on opposite sidelines and one inside). The team in possession plays 7v4; the team that wins the ball takes over. Structure, support and counter-pressing.
Activation rondo in 8x8 m squares: four keepers of the ball against one presser who swaps out every time they touch the ball. Ideal to start the session with the ball and rhythm.
Classic four-versus-two rondo in an 8x8 m square with a maximum of two touches. Works circulation speed, constant support and the coordinated pressing of the two defenders.
Goalkeeper footwork drill: directional first touch and a short pass to a free team-mate while a striker presses the first line of the build-up.
1v1 duels in 15x8 m channels with two mini goals: the defender passes to the attacker and closes down immediately, steering them towards the side to win the ball. Individual defending technique.
Two adjacent 10x10 m squares. Five possession players against two pressers; after eight passes the ball is switched to the other square and the two pressers must sprint across. Works possession under pressure and the transition after losing the ball.
4v4 small-sided game in 35x25 m in which each team defends two mini goals. Forces players to switch play, read the free goal and defend as a compact unit.
Possession game with two inside jokers who always play with the team in possession. A 7v5 overload to work keeping the ball under pressure and finding the free player.
The centre-back plays a back pass and a striker presses the reception: the goalkeeper takes a directional touch and chooses between the free centre-back and the far full-back.
Three attackers with a ball in different positions: the goalkeeper adjusts to the bisecting line and narrows the angle before each shot on the coach's call.
Crosses from the byline at different heights and distances with live attackers; on every ball the keeper decides whether to come and claim or stay on the line to face the finish.
