There are many different variations of this touch game, I will start off with a game of traditional touch with no limit on amount of touches and turn over is when a mistake is made. After a few minutes of this I will intorduce 5 touch turn over to premote good use of the ball. I will progress onto one player allowed to be offside so that the players vision will increase and will start to play with their heads up. Then it will be moved onto any direction touch where players can be offside and passes can go forward and shortly after this is started will introduce kicking into the game. Once this game has progressed for a few minutes i will say the blue score zone is 10 points and yellow is 5 this will promote width into the game and sense of competitvness.
