    • Area: Half-pitch or 30x20 meters with small goals on either end.
    • Teams: 7v7 
  • Structure:

    • The game is played continuously, allowing players to utilise the skills learned in the technical practice.
    • Conditions:
      • Condition 1: Teams must make a minimum of three passes before scoring to encourage teamwork.
      • Condition 2: Introduce a “freeze” rule where players can only move after a completed pass to focus on positioning and spatial awareness.
      • Condition 3: Rotate players regularly to keep everyone engaged and provide varied experiences.
