Set up a rectangular pitch divided into two equal zones, with two posts at each end (total of 4). Begin with 6 attackers and 3 defenders. The game starts in one zone as a 4v2 possession game—4 attackers versus 2 defenders. The goal for the attackers is to maintain possession and then transfer the ball to the other zone. When the ball is played into the second zone, only the required number of attackers (2) move into the next zone, and 2 others follow, creating a new 4v2 situation in that zone. This movement must be timed so that as the ball moves, the right number of players arrive to maintain the 4v2 structure—no standing or waiting players are involved. Defenders shift dynamically and rotate as needed. If the defenders win the ball, they quickly try to score in either of the two nearest posts. This drill develops possession under pressure, intelligent off-the-ball movement, communication, and defensive transition.

A rectangular field divided into two equal halves. Each half hosts a 4v2 rondo setup. A pole is placed on both sides at the center where the two halves meet. There are 10 players total, divided into teams of 5 pairs Starting the Drill: The coach initiates play by passing a ball to one of the attackers in one half. Two defenders stationed near the pole sprint into that half to engage in a 4v2 scenario. Attackers must complete 5 consecutive touches/passes. Once the 5 passes done they will shift to other side.
