Possession Rondo — 5v2

Groups of 7: 5 keep possession against 2 defenders in a tight grid. If defenders win the ball or it goes out, the player who lost it swaps in. Keep it light — this is a welcome-back-to-football feel-good drill.

• Move to create passing angles the moment a teammate receives — don't stand and watch.
• Defenders work together; press as a pair, not individually.
• Quick feet, don't hold the ball — make it difficult to press.

• Shrink grid to 10x10 to increase pressure and reduce time on the ball.
• Add a condition: third player must touch before the ball can go back.
