Organisation

Cones are used to mark an approximately 20x25 meters playing field. It is divided into two equal areas.
Players in possession are located according to the given system and formation.
Four players are identified as defenders with different colours.
The exercise is illustrated in 4-3-3 playing system but it works in other formations and systems, too.
Roles of the attackers and defenders are changed periodically.

Description and Graphics

Players in possession stay in position, so they perform the combinations and the supporting movements accordingly. Defenders only attack the ball possessors in their own group, so 3v1 game situations evolve. The 3 inside midfielders can combine with each other, but the defenders don't disturb their combinations they can be under pressure when step into one of the 3v1 situations. In case one of the defenders intercepts the ball, he gives it back and the ball possession continues.
