2 teams vs 1 Warm Up

Set Up:

- 3 teams of 5v5 or 3 teams of 6v6 depending on the numbers

- Play in 1 half of the field space or smaller/tighter space to make things more difficult

Objective:

- Two teams keep possession away from the third team (in this example Black and Blue vs Red)

- If the defending team wins the ball, they transition into an attacking team and the team that lost the ball becomes the defending side (i.e. red wins the ball from Blue then it will be Red and Black vs Blue as new defenders)

- Goal is to string together as many passes as you can, avoid becoming the defending team in the middle

Coaching Points:

- Player movement off the ball (runs to receive and runs to deceive)

- Communication

- Body shapes and first touch / decision making

- Speed of play (quick decisions and being alert in transitional moments)

- Identifying defensive pressure and knowing when and where to dribble or pass

Transititon Game (4 teams)

Set Up:

4 teams (4-5 players each)

Set up as shown, using the majority of the half

Different color pennies for each team

Objectives:

- Two teams in the middle look to dribble or pass the ball across to the team on the opposite side

- In the example black looks to get the ball across to anyone on the blue side

- Once the ball is into the blue's the team that passed or dribbled across would then the defensive team would come off and blues would take their place (red would switch with blue)

- Blue team would immediately look to counter to the yellow side quickly

Coaching Points:

- Head up to recognize where the space is and how to get the ball across quickly while keeping possession

- Speed of play, quick transitions

Possession vs Counter

Set Up:

- As shown (2 goals, 2 goalies)

- Passing quality, player movement off the ball (runs to receive and deceive)

- Communication

- Body shape and first touch into space

- Speed of play / decision making
