The next step is when the coach blows the whistle, the player with the ball in each grid plays a long diagonal ball across to the other three attacking players and then continue their attack.  this will give the defense a little bit more time to get organized, adds in working on long serves and receiving long balls and forces a bit more organization on the attackers part.

The last variation I will discuss is the adding of a target player and defender near the goal.  The way this works is that when the coach blows his whistle, the the ball gets played across to the other attackers and then they can try to find the target player up front (who is being marked by the defender).  This variation will vastly alter the runs being made since everything will be predicated by the target players runs.

As you can see, there are many more options that coaches can come up with.  This is a very intense drill (done properly) and can take up most of a training session if you keep changing things up.

Give this a try and let me know what you think by posting on the FineSoccer Forum

Have a great day
