- Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
• 16 cones to set up 3 fields for each team of three
Procedure
Group A (red) passes the ball within their 3 fields.
Players from Group B (yellow) move towards the ball in their respective field.
On the coach's call, a red player dribbles towards one of the 3 opposing fields and tries to dribble through it with the ball. The yellow players all move into that field to prevent this.
If the red player gets through, Group A retains possession and scores a point. If not, Group B (yellow) starts passing the ball among themselves.
Tip
Coaching Points
- Combinations must be executed quickly so the defense can't catch up
- The dribbling player starts at the right moment with a lot of speed
