Playing area: 30x20 meters
Players: 10
Time: 14 minutes
set: 2 of 5 minutes with 2 minutes of passive recovery after each set

Organization

Create a playing field with 20x20 meter cones where two teams of three players each will perform ball possession.
Create another smaller field at the top of the playing field with 4 cones of different colors placed at the top.
Along the four sides of this second field place four mini goals.
In this square, two players will perform a 1 on 1 with conclusion.
The playing area of this zone delimited by the four mini goals must be approximately 10x10 meters.
Then there are two bank players (who have a neutral role), placed outside the two playing squares, at the limit between the two.

Description

The two teams (red v blue) carry out a 3v3 ball possession within the first 20x20 meter zone.

When all the players of a team have touched the ball (three consecutive passes) they can look for a bank player outside the zone.

The bank player serves the teammate who passed him the ball placed inside the second 10x10 meters square.

The attacker (red in the figure), having received the ball, plays a 1 on 1 with the opponent and finalizes on any of the mini goals.

If the opponent recaptures the ball he must serve his teammates again within the first largest square.

If the attacker scores or misses the goal, the action always restarts in the first square, with the opposing team in possession of the ball.

Rules

Free touches available to players in both game areas

At the end of the first series change the players of both teams that act as external banks

At the end of the first series, also change the two players of both teams who face each other in 1vs1 in the smallest finishing area

Variants

Reduce the number of touches available to players who carry out ball possession (for example in the 20x20m possession area a maximum of 3 touches)

Increase or decrease the size of the squares depending on the number of players and their skills

In the second square perform a 2 against 1, taking advantage of the insertion of a partner from the first square or from the outer bank
