Positional Play with Wall Players

Pitch: Eight cones form a square or rectangle.

Equipment: 8 cones and several balls.

Players: Three to four players per team operate inside the playing area; four players per team spread out around the outside as side players.

• The side players may not enter the square and may only move between their two adjacent cones; as wall players they have only one touch.
• The players in the middle try to keep the ball within their own ranks.
• If the ball is played out to the side, the inside players immediately offer passing options and form a triangle in doing so.
• The team is awarded a point for a set number of consecutive passes.

Variations: The outside player plays or dribbles the ball into the playing area; the player who passed the ball then seamlessly fills the outside position.
