Screen 1 (20 mins)

Running with the ball:

Area size = 24x 24 full area

Split in half = 24x12

Middle area = 8x12

First few minutes: Start with no defenders and dribble to the end zone with a skill in the middle for 2 minutes to encourage success and creativity.

Progression: Add defenders.

1. Blue team have to dribble over to the other side through the tram lines without being tackled.

2. If blue player is tackled by red then they try to score in the middle goal on their side. If they do this then its 1 point for defender.

3. Defenders have time limit in the middle - how many points can they get?

Progressions: Defenders change with attackers if they tackle them and score.

Attackers become defenders - last one remaining wins.

Add two defenders in the middle.

Add support player in the middle (can't defend attackers) who can play with defenders to create 2v1 against original attacker to score.

Must try a skill.

Players dribble diagonal.

Regression:

Attackers can dribble through both zones.

Rules:

1 point for attackers if they get to other side.

2 points if they do it by trying a skill.

3 points if they do it with a weaker foot skill.

2. The red player has 8 seconds to score in either of the two goals.

3. Red player must travel through a red gate before scoring.

4. Play for 3-4 minutes and then swap the team roles over.

2 if they score with weaker foot and use skill in the middle.

3 if its skill and goal with weaker foot.

3 goals if defender wins it back/stops a goal from being scored.

Change team roles and team with most points wins.

Add in defender at each goal so when they've beat the player in the middle they are 1v1 at the goal.

Original defender not allowed past gate/6 seconds to score in 1v1 zone.

Regression:

Defenders can't press until attackers take their first touch.

Technical points:

Encourage fast change of direction and pace to fool defender. E.g. Messi dip, stepover etc.

Directional first touch.

Drive through gate quickly before scoring.
