4v2 possession

Essence:

- Working on maintain possessing whilst under pressure.

Structure:

- In the circle we have two defenders and four attackers.

- The goal of the attackers is to achieve 10 complete passes.

- The defender just needs to touch the ball to make the attackers lose.

- If the attackers lose then need to sprint to the cone and the other.

- If the attackers achieve 10 completed passes then they get to walk to the other circle.

Technical Points:

- Attackers - don't force the ball through contact. Give quick passes and move to create space.

- Defenders - stay low and look to put pressure and get a touch.

Game to set tempo

Essence:

- To work on controlling the game and setting the tempo. After a few sets we introduce chaos into the mix (explained at end)

Structure:

- Set up teams of 8 and we play hockey looking to build up play, not force the ball and set a tempo.

- Make sure the game is as continuous as possible.

- Give breaks every 5-8 minutes depending on how well they are doing.

Technical Points:

- Discuss how we set a tempo.- How can we disrupt another teams tempo.

- In teams discuss what they can do to get more outcomes and how to effectively kill the other team out of the game.

- When the coach joins in, discuss how we can react to chaos and what they should instinctively do.

Variation:

- After a few sets. The coach when a ball gets hit out, or hits someone's foot, they will feed the ball to a player and go from there.

- After one set the coach swaps sides.

game to control tempo but not going through the middle

Essence:

- To work on controlling the game using the outside channels more than the inside.

Structure:

- The coach will feed the ball from the middle and apply the chaos rules from before.

Technical Points:

- Discuss how we can effectively use the outside more than the inside.

- Why is route A (through the middle) not the best option?

- When the ball gets fed to the attacker should they pass the ball backwards? go into contact and try to eliminate the defender? or take it into space? When its a 1v1 which option would be best? Discuss.
