2(+2)v2 Possession Game (15 mins)

Organisation

  • There are 2 in possession teams that have to keep the ball away from the out of possession teams
  • The out of possession team must win the ball. When they do they switch with whichever team was at fault for losing possession.
Coaching Points
  • Maximise the space being used
  • Create passing lanes - it is always 4v2 so there should always be an open passing lane
  • Find new shape quickly when possession turns over
  • Can we dictate the speed of play? Play quick away from pressure, but slow things down when necessary 
Progression
  • Each team has 3 lives, if they are out of possession and the other team successfully completes 6 passes they lose a life. The team that loses all 3 lives first must complete a punishment.

Over the River (6 Player) (20 mins)

Organisation

  • The blue team must make a minimum of one pass between each other and then look to transfer the ball. White do the same thing.
  • Yellow must have one player press and the other stay in the middle channel
  • Yellow must win the ball and play it to their team mate in the middle, if they do this successfully they switch with the side they won the ball off
  • If the ball is intercepted in the channel they also switch.
Coaching Points
  • Dictate speed of play. When do we need to move the ball quick and when can we slow it down?
  • In the initial phase the players pressing only need to worry about one player - can that player mover cleverly and sharply to get away from the defender?
  • Can we switch at the earliest opportunity but being careful not to force it?

2v2 Murder Ball (40 mins)

Organisation

  • Regular 2v2 scrimmage to pug goals
  • If the ball goes out the coach throws a new ball in and play starts immediately
  • The team on the outside must go and get the ball and get it back to the coach. The coach only has 3 balls, if at any point they run out there is a punishment for all 6 players
  • Once a goal is scored, the team that scored it get the same ball out of the goal and attack the other side. The team that conceded are off and must complete a full sprint lap of the field being played on. The team that was off comes on to play.
Coaching Points
  • Maximise the space being used
  • Create passing lanes - can we move quickly and sharply to create passing opportunities?
  • Find new shape quickly when possession turns over
  • Can we dictate the speed of play? Play quick away from pressure, but slow things down when necessary
  • The game because quick and frantic - important we keep our composure in these situations.
