Setup:
Field Layout: Three grids, each measuring 10x10 meters.
Teams: Three teams of four players (12 total participants).
In Grid 1, Team A plays 4v2 against two chasers from Team B.
In Grid 2, Team C (four players) wait for a pass.
Grid 3 has Team B (two players) waiting to transition as the next possession team or to receive the ball.
Objective:
Develop communication, scanning, quick passing, and reaction skills with and without the ball.
Rules:
In-Grid Play:
In Grid 1, if Team A (possession team) completes five passes, they switch the ball to Team C in Grid 2.
Team A players move to Grid 2, while two chasers from Team B transition to Grid 1 to chase the waiting team.
If the chasers win the ball, they pass to their teammates in another grid to start a new sequence.
Touch Restrictions: Progress the difficulty by limiting touches to two per player.
Floater Option: Add a neutral floater between the grids to support transitions.
Progressions:
Smaller Grids: Reduce grid size to increase pressure on players.
Time Constraints: Add a time limit to complete five passes or switch grids.
Multi-Touch Zones: Allow one-touch in specific areas but require two touches in others to emphasize decision-making.
Key Coaching Points:
Passing Quality:
Focus on accuracy, pace, and timing.
Scanning and Awareness:
Players must constantly scan for options and pressure before receiving the ball.
Communication:
Use verbal and non-verbal cues to coordinate movements and transitions.
Transition Speed:
• React quickly to turnovers or switches, ensuring smooth rotations.
