Practice 1.
Structure
- Set up the area as above suiting the needs of your players and numbers available.
- Play around with various formations.
Rules
- The attackers collect a ball and attack the goal.
- They obviously are trying to score in the goal.
- If the defenders win the ball they must try and hit one of the nets on the full (no bounce).
- The ball is always live unless it leaves the pitch. If this happens the attackers collect another ball.
- When they run out of balls that’s your time to ask exploratory questions.
Progressions
- Change formations
- Add conditions.
Practice 2.
Structure
- Set up the area as above. It can obviously be 7v7, 9v9 etc.
Rules
- The game starts with two CB’s passing the ball back and forth to each other.
- They must play the ball in to the box when possible. If the ball goes in to the box it can go back to the CBs only once.
- In the box you can see the half line runs through the middle. The challenge is for the midfield to not all be in the same half. You can use our football cones to mark out the box.
- One midfield player can leave the box and drive in to the final third.
- The game is then the same as the previous game.
- If the opposition win the ball they must try and hit one of the nets on the full (no bounce).
Progressions
- Change formations.
- Add recovering runners.
