3v3 into circle (25 mins)

Game is a basic 3v3, in this case in the left hand channel

The initial ball (from coach) is contested between two players. Whomever wins the ball, wins the right to attack.

On turnover, the defensive team needs to get the ball back to the coach

NB! Challenge players to come up with a strategy to enter the circle, and amend rules to increase the challenge.

Options for circle entry:

- 3D... in which areas

- body block... where when

- connected lead

- feed from outside

variable numbers goalscoring (25 mins)

Two teams of 5 players each - playing on a pitch between the backline and the 25 yard line - slightly less than the width of the circle.

A set starts as a 2v2 - every time a goal gets scored the numbers go up (both sides) until we get to 5v5; and then they go down until we are back at 2v2.

NB! What are the behaviours that we reward

EG:

- boxing out effectively in front of goal

- going to ground to score

- connecting inside the circle

Decide on the behaviours that lead to points being gained and set some consequences for not winning.
