30 mins
Set the area up an appropriate size to challenge your players.
Rotate the players regularly to experience all roles.
The blue defenders are locked into their areas.
The main objective is for the red player, inside the grid, to play the ball in all 3 areas and work the ball from one end to the other. The outside players can move along the lines to support the play as necessary.
Coaching Points
Quick, accurate passes ("hit the open man").
Movement,and counter-movement in the middle.
