16 players take part in the exercise for the optimal execution. Players and equipment are arranged as shown. Cones are used to mark 4 squares. Name 4 four-man teams and identify them with different colours. All players have a number from 1 to 4 in the teams.
The coach determines which the different directions are like right, left or diagonal. It is very important to change the directions during the exercise, therefore the players are forced to maintain constant concentration.
The small sided soccer game is played with 4 balls.

This soccer drill focuses on possession, decision making, reaction and cooperation. All the teams start the game in their own squares at the same time.
Players perform accurate passes to each other and move continuously. When the coach calls a number (for example 3) and a direction, the players who are signed with this number sprint in a determined direction to the opponents' square and they try to intercept the ball.
So 3v1 games start in all squares. The 3 players possess the ball and the defenders must intercept it at a limited interval (15-45 sec). The way of the possession can be different, it depends on the coach's aims.
When the defenders intercept the ball they pass it back and the 3v1 game continues till the end of the interval. After that they go back to their own area and the soccer drill starts in the same way.
