We have more drills, analysis and more to learn

Setup:

• Grid Dimensions: Two 15x15m grids.

• Goals: Two large goals at opposite ends and two mini-goals in the center of the playing area (four total).

• Teams:

  • One team consists of a goalkeeper, 2 center-backs (CB), and a neutral player acting as a pivot (#6).

  • 2 chasers from the opposing team act as defenders.

Objective:

• The primary team maintains possession within one grid, completing 5 passes to earn the right to switch play to the opposite grid.

• Once the ball is switched, the neutral pivot (#6) transitions to the other grid to help maintain possession again.

Rules:

• Possession: The team in possession works to complete passes under pressure from the 2 chasers.

• Switching Grids: After completing 5 passes, the team must switch the ball to the other grid.

• Scoring for Chasers:

  • If the chasers win possession, they can score in the mini-goals (center) or the big goal (defended by the goalkeeper).

Key Coaching Points:

• Passing: Firm, accurate, and purposeful passes to maintain possession.

• Scanning: Players must read the game, looking for opportunities to switch grids.

• Positioning:

  • The #6 should position themselves as an effective outlet for switching play.

  • Center-backs must maintain proper spacing and angles for effective circulation.

• Transitions: Encourage quick and smooth transitions when switching grids.

• Defensive Pressure: Chasers should press aggressively, forcing errors or intercepting passes.

Progressions:

• Touch Restriction: Limit possession players to 2 touches to increase difficulty.

• Time Limit: Impose a time limit for completing passes and switching grids.
