Keep possession of the ball in a drill using two teams of 4 players and 2 magic men who play for the team in possession plus goalkeepers. The overload is always 6 vs 4 in favour of the team with the ball and they use the overload to attack the goal.

  • Quick reaction after losing possession - regain within 5 seconds
  • Focus on the players’ positioning, movement and decision-making.
