This drill is made to improve the possession, conservation and  ball circulation, through pases, third man search due to the superiority of number of players. In defense we will insist in the defensive balance in triangle shape to avoid through passes.

We will play in 20x20m space, 2 players in every side of the square. Three players will defense inside and they will try to steal the ball as many times as possible during 2 minutes. The rest of the players will play in 2 touches (TC in advance) máximum. We will count the number of times of each three people. We will award if they do a through pass among the defenders finding the third man and as a consequence we will punish the defenders by taking out 1 stealing. 

(Times, spaces, number of players, number of touches, etc… are suggestions. We will adapt them based on the resources we have and the players availability.)
