Hitting the benches - Match Play

Divide the pitch into three areas. Both teams play a 3 v 3 inside the middle third of the pitch. The blue team are trying to hit the white team's benches and vice versa. Teams must pass around to get a free chance before trying to score.

Out of the circle

Blue players must work together to try and prevent white players from breaking out of the circle. To do so they must move quickly to pair up and form a human barrier in front of the white players as they try and burst out.

113 pulling/pushing

Pass around face-off

Blue players stand behind cones placed in a square, with two defenders stood inside a smaller square contained within the larger one. The blue player who starts with the ball must dribble forwards and contest the area with the defender. The defending player can only use their torso to prevent the attacker from dribbling any further forwards. After tussling with the defender the attacker must pass the ball in a clockwise direction to the next player and then run straight across the grid to the back of the opposite line.

Triple cross-over

Players work in groups of four and try to make the three passes as quickly as possible as they cross-over. The starting player runs forward with the ball and passes the ball behind to the next player as their paths cross. As they do so the player three should time their run so that they cross over with player two just as they receive the ball in time to in turn receive the ball. Player four also does the same so that they quickly receive the final cross-over pass from player three.

527 crossing
