Setup
Pitch: Play takes place across the whole sports hall on two small goals.
Equipment: 2 small goals, balls.
Players: The coach puts the teams together so that they are balanced and sets the playing time and the rules.
Procedure
Rules:
- Play is without boards.
- The coach decides before the game whether it is played with or without offside.
- After a set number of minutes the goalkeeper is changed: a substitute goes in goal, so that a rotation is created and nobody plays longer or shorter than the others.
- The ball may only be played up to hip height.
- Goals may only be scored when all outfield players are over the halfway line.
- The goalkeeper may leave the penalty area.
- Play is with throw-ins.
- Three corners make a penalty, with every shot that goes past the goal counting as a corner.
Aim: Quick pushing up in support, balls in behind to gain ground and closing the opponent down early, so that no pass in behind is possible. A ball in behind is normally followed by a lay-off, or the receiving player holds the ball up so that the team can push up. As a last option, the 1 vs 1 to finish remains.
Tip
- The focus points are passing, the first touch and taking the ball in stride, finishing and running into the spaces.
- Demand verbal direction from all players, for example close down, shift right, block the passing lane, drop off, hold the line or player behind.
- The rules have to be observed. Enforce them consistently, otherwise there will be discussions.
