Set Up

Create a box using cones, about 5-8 yards away (Smaller the box, harder the drill for offense). Put 2 defensive players inside and 3 offensive players on the perimeter. The offense must play keep away from the defense and can’t hold on to the ball for more than 1 second. The defense must always be playing the ball, the game moves fast so its a great drill and workout for conditioning purposes too!

Coaching Points & Principles

  • Defense – Always play the ball and backside zone, constantly rotating
  • Offense – Move your feet to get and open passing lanes. Touch passes, cants cradle and run!

Progressions

  • Make the box smaller or larger depending on your skill level
  • Play 4v3
