Setup
Set up a cone square according to the diagram. 7 players are divided into a group of 5 and a group of 2.
Procedure
It is played 5 vs 2. The players on the red 5-player team pass the ball among themselves with one touch. The two blue players must try to win the ball. If one of the blue players touches the ball or the ball goes out of bounds, the blue player who has been in the centre the longest switches positions with the red player who made the error. If the red team strings together 20 consecutive touches, both blue players must stay in the centre for an extra round. The same applies if a red player nutmegs (plays the ball through the legs of) a blue player.
Tip
- Attention should be paid to precise and powerful passing. - The team in possession must be positioned so that all sides of the field and possibly the centre are occupied. - The passing alternates between many short passes and occasional long passes to switch the side. - The players constantly try to be available as passing options for their teammates. - The team without the ball tries to cleverly close down passing lanes and spaces and constantly presses the ball carrier and his neighbors. - The wide players should adopt an open body position (sideline behind them) so they can always see the next passing option. - This game format trains short passing and playing in tight spaces. - 4 cones
