    This document describes a soccer drill called "Loose it and Sit Possession" that focuses on keeping possession. The drill involves two teams of 5 players each, plus two neutral players, playing in a 60x40 yard grid. The objective is for one team to pass the ball amongst themselves and the neutral players without losing possession, while the other team tries to intercept the ball. If a team loses possession, the player responsible must sit down until their team completes a set number of consecutive passes. The team with the most players still standing after 5 minutes wins. Coaching points include maintaining a high pass speed, player movement, and changing the point of attack.

    SCORING: * Play for 5 minutes. The team with the most players standing (playing) at the end of 5 minutes is the winner. * If one team gets down to one player left the game is over. * If the attacking team gets 20 passes in a row the game is also over (i.e. they win the game). KEY COACHING POINTS: 1) Keep the ball speed high (pass the ball quickly with limited touches). 2) Players without the ball must move to create good passing angles. 3) Players should make good decisions about when to change the point of attack to keep possession. 4) Limited touches on the ball. 5) Quick transition. PROGRESSIONS: 1) 2 touch maximum by the attacking players. 2) 1 touch maximum by the neutral players. VARIATIONS:
    Diagram 2

    1)

    To get a kneeling/sitting player to rejoin, his/her team has to pass the into them (hit them!), then they can get up and rejoin. This isa fun variation. (Refer to Diagram Above).

    NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS: Attempt to increase the speed of play of this game once the players become comfortable with the rules. Bascially this is a fun variation to standard possession. Awareness to pick out players down is also key to successful teams in this game. Diagrams were generated using Easy Graphics.
