Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Disguised Running

Basic (10 mins)

Three small squares.

Three teams.

3 vs 1 in the squares, 3 members of the Blue team in possession and 1 member of the Yellow team 'defending'....same other squares but opposite teams.

Play 3 vs 1 until the defender wins the ball or it goes out of the square.

When ball goes out of square or is won by the defender, play starts IMMEDIATELY with a new ball.

3 balls per team.

First defender to win all three balls gets a point for their team. (or play for max 1 min 30 secs and then see how many balls defenders have won)

Swap defenders round until all 4 players have been 'defending' in the opposition group.

Winning team is the team with the most points.

Progressions:

Do it again with two-touch/one touch in the squares
