Possession Drill | Over The River | U10, U11, U12, U13 | Soccer/Football

Use this simple possession drill called “over the river“ to help your team improve off the ball movement, through balls and overall possession. The team on the left hand side tries to keep the ball away from the defender and then find a through pass ’over the river’ to the other team. The drill continues until one team loses the ball - then they become the defenders. You can change the size of the grid, based on how many players you have. I encourage you to keep the river small (around 2-3yards wide) as the main focus of the drill is to work on possession and finding a through ball.
