  • Immediate Reaction to the other team scoring (turning the ball over) - While the yellow team player is moving the cone, the gray team player should immediately go get the ball and start their counter.
  • If the team on the counter is numbers up, they should progress
  • If the team on the counter is blocked on one side by a defenders, they should switch the ball to a FREE player who can attack down the other side.
  • If the team on the counter is blocked off by the defenders, then the team on the counter should recycle the ball and start possession.

Rock, Paper, Scissor 1v1

Rock - Paper - Scissor 1v1

Both teams start behind their goal. The first player in each line has a ball ready to go. They will play Rock - Paper - Scissors against their opponent from across the field. The winning player dribbles the ball into the field to start the 1v1. The losing player runs around the cone on the side without the ball and goes in to defend. 

This can be built into a 2v2 as well. 

Make space longer if too easy for the attacking player

Duration: 15-20 Minutes

Play rounds of 4 minutes with a 1 min break in between

Small Number Transition Game

Small Sided Transition Game:

Game needs to be 3v3, 3v3+1, 4v4 or 4v4+1. If 6-9 players go with one box, no subs. If 10 or 11 players use one box with a sub or two rotated in every minute. If 12 or more play with 2 boxes. 

The goal is the dotted line. The team in possession has to score by stopping the ball on the dotted line. The player who scores, runs to the middle and has to move each con 1 foot closer to the corner. With each goal scored the line gets smaller. This will increase the amount of time the opponent has to counter. The game is played for a 5 minute round. After the 5 minute round the gates get rest and game is started over. 

Duration: 25 minutes

Coaching Points:

  • Immediate Reaction to the other team scoring (turning the ball over) - While the yellow team player is moving the cone, the gray team player should immediately go get the ball and start their counter. 
  • If the team on the counter is numbers up, they should progress
  • If the team on the counter is blocked on one side by a defenders, they should switch the ball to a FREE player who can attack down the other side. 
  • If the team on the counter is blocked off by the defenders, then the team on the counter should recycle the ball and start possession.
