Switch of Play to Squares

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players

Setup

Pitch: 16 cones form two yellow and two red squares, which lie opposite one another.

Equipment: 16 cones and several balls.

Players: Two teams of five players each.

Procedure

  • One team plays towards the red squares, the other towards the yellow ones.
  • A point is scored when a player in the square receives a pass and plays the ball back to a team-mate outside the square without an opponent getting to the ball; the return pass may not go to the same player.
  • After a point, the other square must be played into.
  • Two consecutive points at the same square without losing possession do not count.

Tip

  • Keep demanding the switch of play.
  • Switch play until an overload arises at one square and a point can be scored.
