Setup

This is a 2v2 drill where the attacking pair looks to finish under heavy pressure from the defenders, and then the defenders flip straight into attack.

1）Split 8 players into two groups of 4 and set up a 40 x 50 field.

2）The attacking pair (2 players) dribbles and passes to create a shot while the defending pair (2 players) pressures the ball.

3）As soon as the shot is taken, the defenders transition into attack and the original attackers drop into defense, kicking off a new 2v2.

4）The rep ends when the attackers score or the ball goes out of play. Rotate roles and go again.
