Across the gap (15 mins)

Objective

6 players run with the ball across the grid trying to get across quickly so the defenders don't steal their ball

Defenders try to steal a ball - if they do, they become the attacker, and attacker becomes defender. 

Adaptations 

Progressions 

- add more defenders, make the space longer across, add a condition - must dribble with your non-dominant foot

Regressions  

- take away a defender, make the space shorter across

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Challenges - challenge an individual player to use their non-dominant foot

Challenge a weaker player to get up to their full speed with the ball at least 1x

Small sided game (30 mins)

Small sided game with channels in the width. A player can dribble into either channel and then can dribble with the ball undefended as far as they want. They cannot stop the ball though, the ball must keep moving. 

Aim to drive dribbling throughout the whole pitch. 

Adaptations

Progression

A defender can enter the channel after 5 seconds, make the pitch longer

Regression

Expand the wifth of the channels so that it's easier to get into the channels.

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Condition - undefended running with the ball in the wide channels

Challenges - challenge an individual to try running with the ball outside of the channel where they can be defended.

Challenge teams to try to hold possesion through mainly dribbling, and short passing, timing the longest period.  

Target - small goals
