Organization
Use half of a pitch to delimit the playing area. Place 2 goals on the short sides. In the center of the playing area make a square of 5x5 meters using 4 markers. Divide the team into two groups of 6 players plus one player that is going to be placed inside the square.
Description
The exercise includes two game situations:
- The team that defends the goals (e.g. Red team), must protect both goals and once they recover the ball, they have to pass it to the teammate that is inside the small square
- The attacking team (e.g White team), must score a goal in one of the two goals and during the defensive phase prevent the ball from getting to the player that is inside the small square
Rules
- For the team that defends the point is only valid if the player inside the square receives the ball and gets to pass it to a teammate from the same team
- Every three goals scored by the attacking team, players swap positions
Variations
- Increase the dimensions of the pitch
- Limit the number of touches
Coaching Points
- In this exercise pay a lot of attention to coverages during the defensive phase
- Players have to be encouraged to use the whole space of the pitch to be able to complete an efficient ball possession
