FineSoccer Drill 41 This drill works on so many things it's scary. It will work on possession, defending possession, conditioning, transition, communication, bending runs, serving long balls, receiving long balls, goalkeeping and much more. Start with two 15 x 15 grids set up on a full sized field as shown in the diagram below. The size of the grids can be changed depending upon the numbers in the drill. Have a keeper in each goal.
This drill works best with a big group of 22 but can be done with as little as 14 ( I had 14 doing this last night and it was a hard workout for them). Start with a 3 v 2 keep away game going in each grid with the rest 5 other players by each grid waiting. When the coach blows his whistle, the three players on offense attack the far goal and the two players on defense defend the near goal (in other words, the three attackers will be defended by the two defenders from the opposite grid. The key is for the attackers to organize their runs to unbalance the defense and the defenders are trying to prevent penetration and simply delay the attack. If they successfully delay the attack, then it's over. See diagram below:
As soon as those 5 players leave the grid, the next 5 enter and start their keep away game. When the attacks are done, those players all go to the opposite grid from which they came and wait their turn.
