Winning Back Posession (15 mins)
STATION 1
Winning Back Possession - 15 Minutes
Organization
- 4 x cones, 8 x markers
- 2 grids 30m x 30m with a smaller 7m x 7m centre grid in the middle
- 3 x blue pinnies & 5 red pinnies for each grid
Explanation (8 players)
-Ball starts in the middle with Blue players, 3 v 1. Blue players maintain possession inside the 7m x 7m area
- #9 to get the ball as soon as possible in the centre grid. Once #9 wins the ball, they play the ball to Red players moving around the 30m x 30m grid. Game then becomes 5v3
-Red now have possession and Blue players have to win the ball ASAP
-To score a point Blue need 5 passes, Red need to maintain possession for 10 passes to score a point. Add time limit for the Blue player to win the ball back.
-Change the centre players regularly (every 3-4 mins)
Step Up/Down
-Increase/decrease the area size depending on player numbers
-Increase the players in the large area to allow success with possession
Coaching Points

-Know what you will do before the ball arrives
-Move the ball with your first touch away from a defender and into space
- Try to face forward and pass forward
- Support your team mate after you pass
- Players to pass and move to support team mate
