Capture the Ball (10 mins)

Capture the Ball (15 min)

Organization: One field  30x25, with a line in the middle that splits the field into two zones.

Have 1 ball per pair of players.

Split the group into 2 even teams and have half as many balls as players 

setup on the middle line (ex if 8 players, 4 balls) When the coach says go, the players

try to gain possession of the ball and try to keep it on their half zone using only dribbling

and running (passing may be added in a progression). After a few minutes of fighting to 

retain possession on their half, stop the game and see which team has the most balls on 

their half of the field!

PROGRESSIOIN: Once the ball is stolen players must now keep the ball in the opposition half for 5 

seconds before crossing into their own half. Players can now also pass to each other to help retain

possession of the ball.

Coaching Points:

Remind players to look up while they're dribbling so they know where they're going.

Encourage the players to protect their balls by shielding them or moving quickly

away from danger change of direction and speed.
