Set-up
Groups of six: four keep, two press. Two touches max. Rotate defenders after four consecutive losses or two minutes, whichever comes first.
Coaching points
- Move before the pass arrives — support angles, not straight lines
- Defenders work as a pair, not two individuals
Progressions
- Drop to one touch to raise tempo
- Award a point to defenders who win it cleanly — gamify the press
