3v3+2 Rondo (20 mins)

Multiple setups

~15x15 grid

-play starts with ball in from coach

-reds try to maintain possession to achieve 8 passes total (=1 point) or a split (=1 point)

-blues must try to regain possession and shield ball for 3 seconds (=1 point) (no points for clearing ball or when it goes out of bounds)

-once the 3 seconds is up, play is dead

-if ball goes out, restart from coach

-when blues succeed 3 times they may switch out to attackers

Progression: must now regain possession AND make a pass to teammate in order to get point

Keys: focus on regaining possession and putting other team under pressure while remaining patient and slowing them down.

Coaching points: pressure and cover, guiding attackers into one side, getting close enough to reach arm out and pick moment where ball can be won; if ball is won, shielding until we can find a teammate

1v1 Defending (20 mins)

Multiple set-ups

~10x15 grid

-play starts with red defender passing out to blue attacker

-attacker's objective is to dribble over endline with ball in possession (=1 point)

-defender's objective is to win ball and pass to either neutral on outside (=1 point)

-once play ends, the 2 players involved in the play take the place of the neutrals, each neutral joins a line (switch it up each turn)

Progression: Must shield ball for 3 seconds before finding target on outside

Keys: the focus will be closing down and slowing down, being close enough to be putting them under pressure, being patient in the hopes that we can regain possession (not just kick it away).

Coaching points: Body position, getting arms out, picking moment to step in and shield.
