Set Up:

There are 8-12 players set up around the four sides of the small field, starting at the cones. Player 1 dribbles into the center, passes to Player 2 (or Player 3), and then runs in the opposite direction from the pass. Player 2 then dribbles into the center and is pressured by Player 3 before passing off to the side to Player 4. Play continues in this fashion, with the player opposite the ball - Player 5 - pressuring the next attacker, Player 4.     

Coaching Points:

1.  The defender must control the speed of his initial run and not charge in.

2.  Curve the approaching run and force the play in one direction.

3.  As you get to within 3-5 yards of the ball, slow down and be ready to change direction.

Progressions:

1.  Reduce the size of the field.

2.  Progress to 2 v 1.

Players Required: 
8-12
