Form a 7x7 square using the markers. Create a 3 meters small goal using the poles 5 meters distant from the square. Arrange 3 white players and 1 red inside the square. One white player starts with the ball.
- On coach starting signal the exercise starts with a 3 vs 1 situation
- The white players can move freely inside the square
- Unlimited ball touches
- If the red player regain the ball, he must carry it across the small goal as quickly as possible ( ex. in the figure)
- Only the player who lost the ball can chase the red player trying to stop him
- If the red player succeed in carrying the ball across the small goal, he replaces the white player who lost the ball
- Don't stay arranged on the same line to balance the combination
- Ensure two passing options to teammate supporting him
- Promptness and harmonious movement with or without the ball
- The player who passes the ball has to move showing for a new pass
- Privilege passes forward to conquer space
- Stay put only for a tactical reason
- The two players without the ball can swap positions in both vertical and horizontal directions
- If the ball carrier is unmarked, the two players attack the space combining
- Tacking positions is an individual tactical skill wich provides for cognitive capabilities, spatiotemporal estimation and motor anticipation
