Use the circle with channels.
Ball 1 = 1v1
Ball 2 = 2v3
Ball 3 = 3v4
Ball 4 = 4v4
Objective & Coaching Points
Working on defending as the primary component with trying to defend outside the circle as to not give away PC's. Identifying when have a man advantage and can play zone and be more aggressive vs equal numbers and have to play Man v Man.
Extension & Progression
You wouldn't really extend this exercise. All you could do is change who gets the advantage. e.g. more attackers than defenders.
