Stretch The Pitch

1. 4v4,5v5 vary pitch size dependant on numbers
2. Score once in goal scoring area

A thought –
Ask the players to split into two even teams.
Once they have tried ask them ‘are the teams fair?’
…give them a chance to make switches.

Use team talk time to ask players for their tactics (as a team) and the skills that work well.

Principles

1. Context
2. Prescanning
3. Stick to stick

Attackers

1. Scanning
2. Hard flat passing – stick to stick

Defenders

1. Deny
2. Dictate
3. Pressure on the ball

1. Take a free hit from back line if long corner then start the other side

1. Add points for each player in attacking D
2. Give one player a Superpower e.g. a player gets a bonus point every time that they tackle in their defensive D and double points for every goal that they score in the attacking D (encourages the superhero to set an example of how one player can be both an attacker and a defender.)
3. Time and # of balls
