Diagram 1    
 
ORGANISATION:
Using a 40x20yrd grid arrange a 4vs4 with 2 neutral the middle of the grid. 
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
  • The 4 attackers attempt to keep possession of the ball by passing amongst themselves and the 2 neutral players (shown in blue above).
  • The 2 neutral players (yellow) always play with the team that has the ball.
  • The game is continuous with no pauses.
  • If the defenders intercept a pass, they then team up with the neutral players to keep possession.
  • If the ball goes out of play the first team to chase after it and touch the ball gets to play it back in.  Kick-ins from the sides.
 
SCORING:
  • Identify a specific number of consecutive passes the attacking team needs to complete before a point is scored (for example; 7).
 
KEY COACHING POINTS:
  1. Keep the ball speed high (pass the ball quickly with limited touches).
  2. Players without the ball must move to create good passing angles.
  3. Players should make good decisions about when to change the point of attack to keep possession.
  4. Limited touches on the ball.
 
PROGRESSIONS:
  1. 2 touch maximum by the attacking players.
VARIATIONS:
  1. Limit the number touches of the neutral players to 1 or 2 touch.
  2. Every time a member of the attacking team has the ball they must play it to a neutral player before playing it to one of their team-mates.
  3. Adjust the size of the grid.
 
NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS:
Attempt to increase the speed of play of this game once the players become comfortable with the rules.
