Play forwards
Key Objectives
Help your players keep possession, with directional play to add realism
Technical/Coaching Points
Movement off the ball to support
Receiving technique
Positive and looking to play forwards with purpose
Organisation
Mark out a square roughly 20x20.
Have a target player at each side. One team play horizontally and the other vertically so make the target plays align to this
How to play
A point is scored for each time the ball is successfully played, via the players in the middle, from one target player to another.
If the out of possession team win the ball then they play to their target player
Progression
If your players find this too easy or too difficult, you could progress the game in the following ways:
Alter the space
Overload/underload
Limit touches in the middle
