This 5v2 game requires quick passing, fast thinking and proper positioning in order to keep possession. The grid is two 20×10 yards split into 2 separate 10×10 yard grids. The blue team sends 2 defenders as the red team keeps possession with a 2-touch limit per/player. As the players skill level increases make the game 1-touch only. The coach should count the number of passes made. The team who connects the most passes in one possession is the winner – play 10 possessions per/team – rotating every possession. Feel free to vary the rules and customize the grid size to fit the skill level. This exercise is one of 15+ that is in my book “Train Like Arsenal. Play Like Arsenal.”
