Conditioned Game (10 mins)

Organization:

2 teams of 6v6

4v4 in playing field, 2 target players per team on opposite ends of square/grid.

Instructions:

To score a team must play a pass into one of their target players, if this happens they score a point, and the target player brings the ball back into play with the player who passed them the ball taking their place as the target player.

Target players can move anywhere up and down their line but cannot step into the feild or change end lines.

That team must then try and score using the opposite target player (they can pass back to the other target player but it does not count as a point and players do not change roles, the team must try to transition and score using the opposite target player).

If possession is lost, then regained, the team can once again score using any target player.

First team to X amount of points = winner.

Coaching Points:

Use of body to disguise which way you are passing

Use of different surfaces to disguise where you are going to pass

Awareness of where want to play pass before make it

Technique of different deceptions
