Description and Graphics

This soccer drill focuses on possession and fast interception. Both teams start the soccer game in their own squares at the same time. Players make different passes to each other and move continuously. When the coach calls 2 numbers (for example 5 and 4) the players who are signed with these numbers sprint to the opponents' square and they try to intercept the ball. So 4v2 games start in both squares. The 4 players possess the ball with maximum 2 touches and the 2 defenders must intercept it at a limited interval (30-60 sec). When the defenders intercept the ball they pass it out of the square and go back to their own area. Then the soccer drill starts again.
