Defending the house (O)

Sportplan is a very helpful resource and I really enjoy the wonderful...

DESCRIPTION

OLDER GROUPS

The game can be started in the same way so players get to know the area they are playing in. A football should be introduced quicker into sessions with older/more able players.

Ideas for older groups:

  • Split the Players into teams e.g. 4 teams of 3 who can only score by making either a pass into, or through the square (there will be a player in the square who has to stop anybody receiving the ball inside or through it)
  • Add tacklers into the game who can go anywhere and tackle players. They get a goal for every tackle or interception they make
  • Progress to a game situation with two games going on across each other. Must pass either into or through the house before scoring e.g. in this game it is yellows v reds and blues v oranges

Coaching points: When is the best time to pass through? Execution of pass needs to be easy enough to control because you don’t get a point for a bad pass

Change Tacklers/Middle man every so often
