Players can run with the ball and pass in all directions. If a player is touched while in possession of the ball, it is an immediate turnover (ball put on the floor).
The team that scores, turn to attack the other way. This rewards teams scoring and means defensive side have to work to get the ball back.
The aim of this game is to develop spatial awareness, communication and running skills. Try to get players moving into space. Try to get players knowing what they are going to do with the ball before they receive it.
Get pairs spread out in attack. Play quick before defence is organised. Defenders need to pick up a player.
You can vary the size of area and numbers playing. Ideally 8 a-side in a 40m by 40m space. Work with 2 min between breaks.
