Game 1.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above suiting the needs of your players and numbers available.
Rules:
-Players can go wherever they like on the pitch just like the game.
-Every time the ball goes out of play the game restarts from the keeper who is to play in.
-The team in possession can must make four passes in their half before they can play out in to the oppositions half and attempt to score.
-I usually play for 3 minute blocks as I like the session to be very intense.
Progressions.
-I like to then give the team in possession a choice.
- If they make four passes in their own half they get 3 goals for scoring.
- If they chose to not make the four passes in their own half they get 1 goal for scoring.
Game 2.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above suiting the needs of your players and number available.
Rules:
-Players can go anywhere they like just like the game.
-Player must try and get the ball to the opposite keeper in specific third of the pitch depending on the coaches command.
-This will then get the team not in possession either pressing, dropping off or defending extremely deep.
-Once players grasp the practice I would suggest the coach changes the thirds regularly to test and stretch the players capabilities.
Progressions:
-If the coach commands the middle third for example, the team in possession can get the ball to the goal keeper from this third for 3 points or choose another third for 1 point.
