Initial Game - Possession Focus (15 mins)

Organization:

Area - Full field; 4 small pug nets, 4 cones along half way line

Activity:

1. 3 Teams; 4 players/team

2. 4 attackers in each half; 2 passive defenders standing on half line, 2 active defenders to try and win the ball

3. Attackers need to pass ball around and keep away from active defenders; attackers look to pass the ball along the ground to the attacking players in the other half of the field

4. Attackers receive 1 point for switching the ball to the other side; they receive an additional point if they switch sides by playing through the wide cones and an additional 2 points when they play through the centre line with the 2 passive defenders on it

5. When the ball switches sides the attacking team must make 5 passes before switching play

6. When you switch sides, the defenders switch roles

7. If defender wins the ball they can score on the 2 small goals

8. Rotate teams to play as defenders

Progressions:

1. Defenders in the middle become active

2. Only 2 passes before you can switch play

Key Possession Principles:

1. Communication/Eye Contact

2. Angles (in front, behind, beside)

3. Distance (near, far & wide)
