Training Form with Neutrals
-
Organisation
- Cones to mark the playing field
- Two teams of 4 players each and two neutrals
- The teams enter the field, and the neutrals position themselves behind the goal line
-
Process
- The game is played 4 vs 4 on a full-size goal.
- The neutrals play directly with the team in possession. Only the team with the attacking right can score. They start each attack from the goal line against an opponent acting as a back four.
- If the defenders win the ball, the neutrals join the field, and along with the goalkeeper, play a possession game (7 vs 4). The attacking right switches after 10 consecutive passes. Offside rules apply.
