Possession Game (15 min) (20 mins)

Organization:

-10-12 Players

Full quarter of field (approx. 40x30)

In the centre of the pitch set up 2 goals, back-to- back, facing opposite ends of the pitch. Surrounding the goals mark out a circle 3 yards/metres from the goals. This is a safe zone – only the GK is allowed in here. GK will operate in both goals throughout the practice. 1 ball in play.

In the rest of the area create a 6v3/7v3/7v4 (depending on number of players).

Suggested aims for the practice are:

-The team of 6/7 has to complete 3 passes between each other before they can score in either goal.

-The team of 3/4 has to complete 1 pass before they can score, again, in either goal.

-The first team to score 3 goals wins the game or set amount of time. Switch roles frequently
