Screen 1

Set Up: 10x30 yrd box with an area in the middle with either cones or flat markers that acts as the ‘river’. In this game, players have to try and get from one river bank (side) to the other without being tagged. The players in the middle area have to try and tag players as they travel from one side to the other but are limited to being only able to move around the middle area to tag. If a player is tagged, they then become a tagger inside the middle area. Play until all attackers have been tagged.

Progressions: Add in balls that players dribble across, def to tackle & clear. 

Key Points: Awareness, change in speed & direction, 1v1 skills

Screen 2

Setup: Area  split into two with 4v2 in each area with a link player who operates along the line that separates the 2 areas. The possession players have to combine for a set number of passes before playing through to the other area (1 point). If the 2 defenders win the ball, they try to score in any of the mini goals positioned outside the area. The possession team score 3 points if they can complete an up, back, through sequence using the link player to pass into the next area.

Progressions:

  • Smaller area to challenge the possession players further.
  • The pass into the link player needs to be with a 1st time pass. 4 v 3 in each area should numbers allow

key Points: Spread out make area big, shape in possession triangles/diamonds, detail of the pass & 1st touch, defending speed, transitions.
