8 V 8







The Game

Two teams of 8 play ~keep-away~ in the middle zone as marked. If the defending team wins the ball, they immediately try to posess it.

Coaching Points

Attack:

  1. Moving with and without the ball.
  2. Angles of support.

  3. Team 'Balance.

  4. Vision.


Defense:

  1. Immediate pressure when the ball is turned over.

  2. Cover.

  3. Making play predictable.

  4. Compacting space.


Try These Variations

  1. Limit attacking players to '2 touch'

  2. Create a sequence where if an attacker takes more than 2 touches, the next touch must be a 'i touch'

  3. After every fourth touch the area of play must be shifted elsewhere.
