3v1 / 4v1 style games

3v1 - Thinking / Awarness Game

2 different ways to do this

(1)

3 grids, 2-with 4 players and 1 bib each - 1-with 3 players (pictured)

Player with the bib (BLUE) defends group of 3 passing for possession

(RED) Players pass and create angles of support to maintain possession.

When an attacker makes the mistake defender switches and the new defender runs to a grid that doesnt have a defender.

(2)

Teams of 4 or 5 set up for possession. one player from each color defends a group of different color and when they cause a mistake or win possession, they leave back to their team, tag another player to go defend. Players try to manage possession and collect as many consecutive passes as possible.
