Target Game SSG (20 mins)

Target Player Game.

Remove one of the balls and the practice now becomes a game, with reds v blues.

Score 1 point for every successful transfer from one side to the other.

Progression:

Once Target player has played the ball into one of his team mates, he can now join in to support and create an overload. Player must be aware to drop back into target zone once a successful transfer has been made, ready to receive the next pass. Or, can a different player drop in?

Coaching Points:

As previously, concentrate on receiving on the back foot, double movements, pass and move, etc.

How can the Target player offer support once he has joined play?

Ammendments:

If an odd number of players, one player can be a 'joker' player and play for the team in posession.

If low numbers, play with just one Target player in endzone rather than one from each team. Target player players for the team in possession.

SSG (20 mins)

SSG

Play a SSG and focus on support play.

If a team can score using a good supporting play from their teammates the goal counts as 2.

Coaching Points:

Encourage and praise support play.

Interject when missed support play opportunities happen and ask how the play might have looked different? Might there have been a different outcome?
