3v3 (+2) possession (20 mins)

12x12 yard grid there are 2 teams of 3 players (blues and pinks) plus 2 all time attackers playing for the team in possession (black shirts).

1 blue player at each end and 1 inside the area and all 3 pink players start inside the area. The 2 black shirts are on opposite sides to the blues.

The blues and blacks aim to keep possession away from the pinks. Every 5,6,7 passes = a goal (depending on age and ability of players). If the pinks win back possession they swap with the 3 blues and the game continues. The black shirts stay on the outside.

Progression: If you play the ball out then you go out and the player receiving the ball on the outside line passes or dribbles the ball into the area and stays inside the area.

3 team possession (20 mins)

Game is played in 3 areas as shown, size can vary depending on age and ability of players. Middle area should be thinner than the 2 end zones. 3 teams of 4 or 5 players with 1 team in each end zone and the 3rd team in the central zone that start as defenders.

A ball is played into either end team from the coach. One of the defenders leaves the middle zone and enters the end zone to try and win the ball back. The team in possession aim to make 3,4,5 passes then transfer the ball to the opposite end zone. If they are succesful the original defender rejoins their team and a new defender attempts to win the ball back in the other end zone.

If the defender wins the ball back before it is transferred then the team giving the ball away become the new defenders and the original defenders go into the end zone to become attackers.

Can progress to having 2 defenders entering the end zones to increase the difficulty for the attackers.
