Conditioned Game (25 mins)
Organisation:
6v6+1
Teams set up in a 2-3-1 in possession (Principles of a Diamond).

How to Play
Play to goal.
For each time the ball is switched from one wide area to the other in an attacking sequence it multiplies the worth of the goal. (ex. 3 switches followed by a goal in the same possession equals 3 points)
Coaching Points
Decisions
- Take the easy points? If opponent is giving you the middle and taking away the switch then take the middle 1 point.
-Try to draw the opponent out by playing small passes in one section of the field? Once they are drawn out switch the play.
-Full backs provide the width.
