PLAY PROGRESSION 1

Another drill where you spark youngsters to improve their ability as defensive midfield players. 2 teams compete in 2 tight zones. The drill as noted starts in a simple manner. 1 player of each team wears a bib which make them the defensive midfield players. When a team in possession, their bib player helps in rondo, while the opponent bib player applies high pressure. Players in possession should delay their pass as possible to allow the opponent apply pressure. Once the pre set number of passes is completed, the bib player with the team in possession should dribble with the ball into the gate. There, he is pressured by the opponent bib player till he successfully manages to turn, and pass to the other team. Then, it is his turn to be the defensive midfielder.
