Two teams of 10 + one goalkeeper per team are formed and positioned as shown in the diagram. The game is played on the full field.
Procedure
The two teams play against each other. The goalkeepers participate. No goals may be scored. At the start, touches alternate between 1 and 2 (1-2-1-2-1-2 etc.). Later, free play. The objective is to maintain possession as long as possible.
Tip
- Triangles must be constantly formed to provide passing options. - The passing game alternates between many short passes and long passes to shift the zone of play. - The teams should be in constant motion. Players continuously try to make themselves available as passing options for their teammates. - The team without possession tries to cleverly close passing lanes and spaces and applies constant pressure on the player in possession and nearby opponents. - Getting locked into a tight space should be avoided. Therefore, switching the point of attack and through balls should be played regularly. - Passing targets should try to adopt an open body position so they can always see the next passing option. - This game format requires an enormous amount of running and tactical understanding and is characterised by constant communication. Additionally, it trains short passing, playing in tight spaces, and quick switches of play. - The team in possession should have players covering the flanks, the centre, and the half-spaces.
