One central midfielder occupies the center circle with a passive defender marking closely these players will be the initial focus for coaching central midfield play. Players set up on the cones in the corner and they will represent the wide players. A player starting with a ball in the corner plays a pass in to the central midfielder. The midfielder must move to lose the midfielder and receive the ball outside the center circle. Once the midfielder has received the ball, they must pass the ball off to the player opposite the start line. The player receiving the ball must dribble the ball and play 1 v 1 with the starting player, both players switching lines. The midfielder switches sides and the pattern repeats.
