Creating Space

Objective – Creating space to keep possession

GameFocus/PrinciplesResetProgression
  1. Game is 6v6 (add joker if odd nos)
  2. Scoring is done by passing ball across the grid to your other 2 players (to increase intensity defenders cannot touch it)
  3. Two players from each team are positioned in the playing area
  4. Other 4 players are split 2 at each end of the playing area

If you have a joker then they play for team in possession – 3v2 in central area

Rules

  1. Any pass to a safe player must be followed by a substitution with that player 
  2. Joker is the only player who does not rotate into the safe zones
  3. Any broken rules means turnover

Principles

  1. Keep the ball
  2. Stick to stick
  3. Leading runs

Focus

  1. Positioning
    1. Defenders – players pressure the ball and the channel
    2. Attacking use a triangle shape to create width and depth
  2. Movement – players who are marked should try pull opposition out of position
    while the open player attempts to receive the ball.
  3. Direction – players must be patient in advancing the ball forward to score.
  4. Use the spare player
    1. Every time ball goes out or lost goes to other team from a “spare player”
  1. Change size of grid – bigger if cannot do it smaller if too easy
  2. Create quadrants and players cannot stay in the same quadrant unless they are defending
  3. Make it 3 vs. 3 in the contest zone.
  4. To increase the difficulty remove the joker and have 3 players from each team operating in the contest zone.
