Steps:

1. Defenders lineup on the side of the goal with all the balls while the attackers form two lines just in front of half field. 
2. The drill starts with a defender sending a long ball to the attackers and then going out to defend. The defenders should get out as quickly as possible and then delay the attackers.
3. The attackers collect the ball and use overlaps, give-n-go's, and other passing combinations to score. The coach should call offsides to make it game realistic.
4. The defender and goalkeeper must communicate well and work together to limit passing and shooting angles. If the attackers do well, the best the defense can hope for is a poor shooting angle that the goalkeeper has a better chance of saving.

Setup:

• 4 or more Players (2 Attackers, 1 Defender, 1 Goalkeeper)
• Set of balls.

Tips:

• This drill forces players to make various attacking and defending choices. The attacker with the ball must read the defender and decide to when to dribble or pass. The defender must read the attackers and decide if they are going to dribble or pass and when they can tackle or intercept.
