Activity (20 mins)

Activity (Analytical)

Organization

Two 10x15 yard grids, with 5 yard gap in between

Collection of balls at both ends of the grids

2v2 inside of the grid, and one player on either long end of the grid as shown (jokers)

Activity

Attacking team tries to play ball from one joker to the other. If successful, they continue and try to keep possession and bring it back to the joker on the other side.

The joker who last received the ball can be used as support for the attacking team (support joker).

If the defending team wins the ball, they attempt to play into the joker who last received the ball and become the attacking team.

Play resets at the support joker and team who lost the ball now defends.

Progression: Can only use the support joker once.

Deception of opponent (check & show)

Timing of Movement- Exploit the space in front or behind the defender

Timing, pace and accuracy of the pass

Positive first-touch into safe space to allow pass
