Activity 1

Description :

> 6v6+6.

> 30x30 area, 5 yard zone.

> players in middle must look to keep possession of the ball & encourage them to look for those gaps between opposition players - be brave on the ball.

> when possible, players must then pass the ball into the zone players. Before the ball comes back into play, the zone player who receives the ball MUST switch it over to the other zone player before ball can enter back into the middle.

> central players can use zone player again if nothing is on in middle or they cannot open field to other zone players on opposite side.

> neutral players will also be on the outside to allow central player an extra pass.

> work for 5 minutes then rotate teams.
