Patterns

Warm up passing patterns Opponent 4-1-4-1 block 

Ball always starts at the back with 3/4 

1) Allow players to use it as a warm up moving the ball. 

2)  Start adding in individual cues on the run good habits - First touch forward - driving into space - +1 of opponents shoulder. Facing forward side on.

3) Add in team cues 

a) wingers coming inside once the ball starts to come across, fullback look to go high overlapping 

b) 3/4 space in front look to drive forward to commit the opponents to jump out of the block, once they jump look to play through into 8/10 facing forward.

c) Midfield 3rd man forward runs which will look to break to block in the mid and Cbs will drop off.

Possession Game

3x5 

One team with possession of the ball 5v2 the defending team will press with 2 players and the other 3 will create a block in the middle zone making it hard for attackers to play through.

1) Team on the ball after 5 passes are looking to transfer it into the team in the far zone if they get it through the defending team stays in and 2 different players defend on the other side.

If defending team wins it they need to get the ball and transfer it to the opposite team if they do then the team who lost it will go in and defend, 

2) Add in team can transfer when ever plus points every time they transfer.
