- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
Pitch: Six cones mark out two squares.
Equipment: 6 cones and several balls.
Players: Two teams of six or more players each plus two to three neutral players per area.
Procedure
- In the first area the game is 6 vs 6 or bigger.
- The neutral players each stay in their own area and play with the team in possession.
- Once the team in possession has played a set number of passes, it can switch areas by passing to a neutral player in the other area.
- Both teams then have to switch areas immediately until the set number of passes has been reached again.
- The team that manages a switch of areas receives one point.
Tip
- After losing possession get into a compact shape quickly and defend in a ball-orientated way.
- Make sure that the passing options behind the first pressing line are sufficiently covered.
