Set Up:
The four players on the outside of the box work against each other, using two balls and working on the three P’s – Pass, press, protect. The four players start on the corners, and two of the players (diagonally across from one another) have a ball. On a signal, both players pass to the player on their right to begin the drill. From there, all of the players turn away from the player they just combined with to create 1v1’s midway between the cones. The dribbler turns away from the defender as they press, shielding the ball and dribbling back to their corner. Once back in the corners, the attackers pass the ball to their left to start the next sequence. Play continues back and forth in this pattern.
Coaching Points:
-
Dealing with a defender.
-
Turning and shielding moves.
-
Accelerate out of the move.
