I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

Numbers Intercept:

Teams of 3 - 4 players. Each team numbers themselves 1-2-3-4 and has one ball. The ball should be passed around the team in numerical order whilst moving around the set area.

When the player has passed the ball, he/she can try and intercept the ball from one of the other teams (no tackling). First team to pass the ball 12 times is the winner.

Possession
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.

    multiple ball possession:

    Introduce 2 defenders to make it harder for the players on the ball. The defenders can only tackle the white players.
