4 player press drill

How it works
The ball will start with the goalkeeper from either in their
hands or on the floor and be played short to the possessing
team to try to pass the ball into either of the 3 pug goals.

If the possessing team can score they will get one point.
The goal of the pressing team is to press the possessing team
and force them into a mistake, steal the ball, and score.

If the pressing team can get the ball to go out of bounds or


gain possession of the ball without scoring in the phase of
play they will get 1 point.

However, if they can score a goal from a successful press then


they will get 3 points.
