Put players into 7 positions on court.show them where each playing postion is allowed to go and not to go. Use cones to mark areas to start off with. use 1 ball in midcourt and get them to pass around while staying on their own side.GK and GS can be used as defence players in midcourt and swap them all around.there are some great drills on here that will help you with this question so have look and renforce these in your training sessions.
