- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Progression
- Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
Pitch: Eight cones mark the playing area with a middle zone and two end zones.
Equipment: 8 cones and several balls.
Players: Two teams of equal size.
Procedure
- In the middle zone the ball is played with the hand and headed.
- With the ball in the hand only one step is allowed.
- The aim is to head the ball from the middle zone into the opposing end zone after a throw.
- If a team-mate catches the ball in the end zone, the team gets a point.
Variations:
- The ball is thrown or headed into the end zone and headed back into the middle zone by a third team-mate — that counts two points.
- Inside the end zones the offside rule applies.
Tip
- Watch the players' showing for the ball and getting free.
- Keep moving after passing.
- Play the ball with power and do not throw it in an arc.
