For 2 groups and four or five players try to keep the ball away from one defender, the piggy in the middle. But this drill can really work with any number of players, for instance, you could have ten players with two players in the middle. It really depends upon the ability of the players and whether this is a warm up exercise or a drill, where you want to go full speed. Offensive players should focus on passing the ball to their teammate`s foot which is furthest away from the defender so they can`t take it. Start the defender off at half speed. Progress to one touch and two touch as the game progresses. If ball goes out or the defender touches the ball then the defender switches out of the middle and whoever lost the ball or kicked it out of the playing area goes into the middle, becomes the piggy.
