    Closed Zones | Conditioned Games

    Closed Zones:

    The aim of this exercise is to encourage the players to attack down the wings. The attacking team is not allowed to pass or attack through the zone. Defenders, on winning the ball, have to try and get the ball out of the 23m area, also wide of the zone.

    4v4 Endzone Game | Conditioned Games

    4v4 Endzone Game:

    Set-up the pitch as shown. Place one player from each side in the opposite End Zone.

    Players have to try and get the ball to the player in the End Zone for them to then score a goal. Only the designated players are allowed in the End Zone.

    Kabadi | Possession

    Kabadi:

  • Set up with two teams, each team having their own area in which they keep possession by passing the ball around.
  • The other team can send one player across to try and win the ball for their side. If they manage to win possession the roles reverse and the other team passes the ball inside their own area.
  • The winning team is the first team to put 10 passes together without losing the ball.

    • Possession
    Earn the right to attack | Conditioned Games

    Earn the right to attack:

    One team attacks and the other defends.

    The attacking team will stay on the attack until the defending team carries the ball, under control, over the half way line.

    At that moment the defending team becomes the attacking team and vice versa.
