Set-up

Split into groups of six. Four keep ball from two defenders in a tight square. Rotate defenders after five lost passes. Keep tempo low — this is about touch and communication, not winning.

Coaching points

One or two touch where possible — get it moving
Talk to each other; name calling, direction calling
Defenders press together — no ball-watching

Progressions

Reduce grid size to 8x8 to force quicker decisions
Add a neutral player to create 5v2 if the group handles 4v2 easily
