Organization
Create a 25x20 meters playing area using the markers. On each of the four corners place 2 cones to form a 2m wide goal. Using the coloured vests, divide players into two teams (one team of 6 for ball possession and one of 3 for ball recovery).
Description
- Within the playing area develop a ball possession in numerical superiority for the players with the red vests
- Once the ball is recovered, the blue players must score in one of the 4 goals placed on the corners of the rectangle
- In each series switch the players in numerical inferiority
Rules
- The team in red receives one point every 8 passes
- The team in blue receives one point for every goal they score
- The blue players are allowed to score after at least 1 pass
Variations
- Vary the size of the playing area
- Limit the number of touches
- Add a fourth blue player
Coaching Points
- The red players must use the whole width of the playing area
- Encourage the 3 blue players to recover the ball keeping a high intensity of physical work
- The numerical advantage increases chances for maintaining the ball possession
- Encourage the players to react quickly after losing the ball
