Set-up

  • Place five mini-goals around the edge of the area.
  • 4v4 in the middle, no keepers.

Equipment: 5 mini-goals or cone gates, bibs, balls

How it works

  1. 4 passes, then you can score in any goal.
  2. Win it and you need 4 passes too.
  3. A goal from a switch (ball goes across the area first) is worth 2.

Coaching points

  • Scan before you receive.
  • If one goal's crowded, another is open.
  • Quick passes pull defenders across.

More possession drills

Possession with neutrals (4v4+2)

Two teams of four play keep-ball with two neutral players who always help the team in possession, so it's always 6v4.

End-to-end possession (target players)

Two teams keep the ball and try to play it from a target player at one end to the target at the other. Possession with a purpose: keep it, then go forward when it's on.

Three-team possession

Two teams keep the ball together against the third. The team that loses it becomes the defenders. Intense, constant transitions and lots of overloads.

Keep-ball with overloads (5v2 to 5v5)

Start with a big overload so players taste success, then add defenders every few minutes until it's even. A simple progression that builds possession under growing pressure.

Possession to score through gates

Teams score by passing through a gate to a teammate on the other side. With gates everywhere, players learn to switch play and find the free option.

Possession with wall (bounce) players

A 3v3 or 4v4 in the middle with bounce players on each side who play for whoever has the ball. Teaches using support players, quick combinations and switching.
