This drill works on possession, penetration and movement off the ball.
The numbers can vary but the example I am going to use is for a team with 16 players. It's a 50 x 30 area with a midfield line. 3 X's and 3 O's are on each side and there is a server on each of the four sides. See diagram (1) for set up.
If the X's on the start with the ball, they try to maintain possession in there half of the field for 5 passes (this number can vary as well). It's 3 v 3 in the middle, but they can use any of the S's on their side. If the side S's move properly, this should turn into a 6 v 3 with plenty of width and depth. The players in the middle are limited to 2 touches and the S's are limited to one touch. Once 5 passes have been made successfully, they try to find one of the X's on the other side or they can find the S on the far end line or a side S who has moved down the line. If this is done successfully, the X's get a point. If it's not successful, then the O's get the ball and try to do the same thing (whichever side wins the ball gets to start with it).
