This is a possession drill, which I love. I used yesterday with my U14 team and they enjoyed it. It has so many great aspects, if you have analysed the way Barca wants to play. You can easily build triangles and play short or long. If you are under pressure with the ball, you have the opportunity to play past the nearest play and instead pass to a player further away. This is a great way of getting out of the pressure.
The drill:
Duration: 
Play this game for at least 25-30 mins.
Area:
middle circle or two squares, which must be big enough to complete long passing sequences. Yda I used 15x15m squares.
Organization:
See the illustration.
Development:
You play 4v2 in both half of the pitch. The only player, who can play in both half is no. 6, the other players must stay in their half. The team in possession must try to keep possession by playing in both half. If the team in possession lose the ball, they swap position this ways:
3 <> 5, 2 <> 4, 7 <> 10 and 11 <> 8.
The three white players are neutral players and always play with the team in possession.
The players plays with only two touches.
Focus:
- Passing angles (triangles and pass past the nearest player to get out of pressure)
- Communication (especially for the no. 6, so he knows if he can turn or not)
- Movement without the ball and support the player with the ball.
- Vision (keep your head up, so you know your next move, before you receive the ball).
Please leave a comment with your experiences, if you use it.
