4 team possession
Objective – Possession in tight spaces.
GameFocusTransition/ResetProgression
- 4 teams of 3 – each team possesses a box
- Each team has a defender who is allowed to roam when defending (i.e. there are 3 defenders one of each colour)
- Defenders objective is to disrupt team in possession
- ONLY 1 defender can enter square with the ball to apply pressure
- Other two defenders must stay in the middle and try to cut off the passing lanes
- Game STARTS by a pass to a corner team
- 4 internal passes in the box THEN pass to another team/square (each pass to a opposing box = goal)
- When in possession can have all players in the square
Attackers
- Fast passing to release pressure
- Movement off the ball
- Pass and look for channel
- Communicate
Defenders
- Aggressive running
- Closing passing channels
- Do not commit
- Patience wait for mistake
- Restart when goal scored – defense or attack
- If the ball goes out of play, play a new ball to a different group
- 1 touch pass
- 3 touch before pass
- Change scoring levels
The Law of Possession
The more space, the more time to execute with quality. Time and space enables quality actions, without time and space, players struggle to execute.
High pressure defence closing spaces/channels quickly reduces attackers time on ball. When attackers don’t have time, it results in lower quality attacking play.
Solutions
- Create time and space by finding space and moving into it
- Move off the ball is critical to find that space
- Movement makes it more difficult to be marked and gives you time to execute with a higher level of quality
