Dual Matches

Method:

  • Two 3v3 games going on at the same time
  • Black v Yellow play sideways
  • Red v Green play up/down
  • After few mins, change teams
  • Can be done at the start of a session to burn off energy and limit the "When are we having a match question" or at end!

Coaching Points:

  • Scanning - players must be careful not to bump into each other. Need to watch play in both games
  • Shape - triangle! This gives player on the ball two options
  • Communication - verbal & non verbal
