Setup: Field is 50 strides wide x 45 strides long, divided evenly into 3 zones (15 strides long per zone). The red team is fixed at 2 per zone, and the green team is 3-2-1. The Green Team can overload one player per zone (e.g. from 2 to 3 in the middle third, and to 2 in the final third; but 3 is fixed in the first thrid.) Organisation: [1] restrict touches (max 3 touches per player, and relaxing this as the players get the concept). [2] For Green Team, how to get the ball to the front player (through the flanks, through the middle, through overloads, but also directly from defence (running off the ball to create space for the through ball) [3] For Red Team - how to defend when outnumbered or even numbered (importance of cutting the supply lines) [4] For both teams -- possession, and coverting it to effective possession.
Coaching Points: 1. Shape: Can both team maintain shape to cut the supply lines. 2. Effective Possession: Can both team shift the ball from side to side, and back & forward to maintain possession, and convert it to effective posession. How to pass and receive, angles of support, getting into the gaps/channels/holes, movement off the ball, timing of runs and passes, awareness, speed of play.
