Drill Of the Week
4 v 1 Keep away
with transition
Set-up:
Two 10 x 10 yard grids set up side by side.
Four players in each 10 x 10 grid.
Teams wear different colored bibs.
A ball is positioned inside one of the grids.
Objective:
The team in possession of the ball attempts to keep the ball for as long as possible through sharp passing and constant moving. The team opposite can send over one player (A) to try to win possession of the ball. This creates a 4v1 situation. If (A) wins possession of the ball he must pass the ball to his teammates in the opposite grid. The opponents can then send over one player to try to win possession of the ball. Play is continuous for a designated period of time. Each time the ball transitions across the grids a new player must act as the defender to create a 4v1.
Progression:
(1) One-touch restriction for all players.
Coaching Points:
- Passing must be sharp and accurate – keep the ball moving.
- Players must offer good angles and distance of support to receive passes.
- Defenders should apply as much pressure as possible to force a high tempo.
- Players must stay focused during transition.
