Set up
Set up an area of 30x30 yards split into 15x15-yard quarters. We’ve used 14 players and you need bibs, balls and cones.
How to do it
You need to split your squad into two teams of seven and start playing two basic 5v2 games in opposite boxes. The two defenders in each team have to carry bibs. Start with two touches but try to get them to use one touch as much as possible. If they are having trouble, make it 6v1 so they get more success.
- The game starts with the five attacking players keeping the ball from the two defenders
- 2. If the defender wins the ball they must change places with the player who lost it and give the bib to them
