OLDER GROUPS
Place into teams of 3 or 4 players, playing with 3 or more balls, each team work to try and gain possession of as many balls as they can. Teams score a point for each ball they have possession of when coach STOPS the game
Practice will naturally create 1v1/2v1/2v2/3v2 ect situations. Again need to consider how many balls to play with and size of area. More balls will create 1v1/2v1 situations whereas playing with fewer balls allows teams to use pass and dribble techniques to keep possession in 2v3/3v3 situations
Progression Ideas:
Players should be encouraged to play by the rules, if the ball leaves the play, re-start with another team
