A 6m square is placed on the pitch. 2 Defenders and One Attacker are in the Box. The aim of the game is for the ball to be played into the attacker, and the attacker to quickly pass the ball out of the box under pressure from the 2 defenders. Add 2nd Phase. Once the ball is played 'wide' the attacker in the box leads high for a return pass.
Soft hands for the first touch to keep the ball under control. Try a first time pass to get the ball wide quickly. Use your body to shield the ball. Ball pace even over the short distance is very important.
