COACHES CHALLENGE FOR 30 MINS AFTER LUNCH

THEN GO INTO A ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT WITHIN EACH AGE GROUP, BUT THE GAMES WILL HAVE A CONDITION

WE NEED TO HAVE 2 TEAMS FROM EACH AGE GROUP TO PLAY IN THE FINALS ON FRIDAY!! THE WHOLE WEEK WILL BE LIKE THE GROUP STAGES OF THE EURO'S, LEADING INTO THE FINAL ON FRIDAY......so please keep track of which teams win on each day. Try to make them fair, so that the games are competitive.

examples:

OVERLOAD SMALL SIDED GAME

- Self explantory

- 2 teams - 1 with an overload

- Can the team with the overload make it count?

- How can the team with less work together to defend?

TRANSITION GAME

- Split into 3rds

- Can the team in the defensive 3rd pass through the middle 3rd to the attackers

- Alternatively could play a match whereby:

- Once a team scores they immediately attack the other goal

- Defending team has to quickly transition to defend oppositie goal

- The team/teams not playing could be bounce players around the outside of the pitch

- So in possession, a team has a numerical advantage

- For the older groups, a bounce player could join in the attack once they have been passed to, creating an attacking overload

BATTLE GOALS:

- 4 teams, 4 goals

- All play each other at the same time

- Once a team concedes 4 goals they are out

- When you have 2 teams left, they have defend 2 goals each

- Encourages teams to think tactically, to attack and defend

- Decision making
