SSG (20 mins)

Played in a 30 by 30 Yard square area, with two 5 yard target zones as shown. With a 6 v 6 plus 2 floaters, the possession team must look to keep the ball and find the floaters with passes into the specified zones.

Players must then either find the opposite zone or make 5 passes to play back into the same area.

Players can then measure risk v reward, recognising when to attack goal after making 3 passes.

How quickly can you space to move into?

Are you able to create space for other players during play and if so how?

How does the progression and constraint change your approach in possession?

Progression

Progress by allowing any player from the team in possession to receive a pass in these zones unopposed. The opportunity exists for the possession team to score if the floater receives in any of the 2 zones.

Goals can be added as a progression, once the attacking team has sucessfully passed into the shaded area, they can now attack a goal.

Limit number of touches on both teams to increase difficulty
