Over the River

Learning Activity: Modified Game Form

Activity Objective: Introduce reactive measures in transition to defending moments to apply immediate pressure on the ball

Number of players/opponents: 8v4

Size/Shape of Field: Dependent on player quality and coach intentions (12-15x20-25 each grid would work)

Methods of Scoring: Defensive team scores on mini goals *(individual teams keep track of points cumulative-can manipulate scoring system as needed) If you only have 2 mini goals, then allow defensive team to score by getting ball to coach

Attacking team scores by playing "over the river" to the other side/team

Progressions: 

-attacking team can only score by playing the ball across on the ground

-team of 4 in possession can occupy their third as well as the central third

-attacking team can only score from the middle grid

Total Activity Duration: 20 minutes

Active Duration: Rest Duration 90-120s on/30s off (switch defensive team so everybody goes once) = 1 set

*use body language of defensive team to assess intensity and fatigue and adjust accordingly*

Number of Sets: 3

Activity Rules (KIS KIS):

-Attacking team has to complete 1-2 passes before they can play "over the river", no more than 2.

-Defensive team can only send two players to "press"

Progressions: 

-Attacking team has to dribble "through the river" to get the ball across

-Attacking team in possession can occupy space in their third and in the middle third

-Can lift restrictions on defensive players in zones

Restarts: From coach or closest ball. Ball always start with team in possession

Keep "loose lines" - if it's close, keep playing to keep the ball roll time high

Additional Restraints/Constraints/Restrictions/Rewards:

Formation & Player Roles: conceptual

Rotations (substitutions): no substitutions, rotate defensive team each rep of 90-120s

Total Activity Duration: 20 minutes

Active Duration: Rest Duration 60-90s on/1 minute off

*use body language to access intensity and fatigue and adjust accordingly*

Number of Sets: 4-6 games x 1-2 sets

Activity Rules (KIS KIS):

Restarts: Kick ins - have "build up" team start with ball if the ball has gone out on and endline

If "build up" team scores - restart comes from coach on mini goal side for "red team" to transition to try to score as quickly as possible
