Developing Possession

This document describes a possession practice drill for developing passing skills. The drill involves 6 players and 1 ball in a 10x10 yard grid, with 4 players on the outside and 2 defenders in the middle. The objective is for outside players to complete passes across the grid or sides, splitting the defenders when possible. Simple progressions make the drill more challenging, such as reducing the size of the grid or adding support players. The key coaching points are to look for passing angles, select the right pass weight and type, and use feints to unbalance defenders.

cross-field, or elect to rebound back to a player on outside
