Description: create a box with 4 cones. Have one player in between each set cones, as shown in diagram (blue players.) Have two players in the middle (green players), who will try to intercept the ball as the blue players tries to pass the ball to each other by only using one touch. After every interception a green player switches with a blue player. ( The longest who has served in defense, he switches with the blue player.) Coaching Points: Keep your heads up at all time. Try to use different options. Example: pass the ball to a new player or 2 short passes and then a long one through the middle.
