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

OFTEN USED WITH...

Keep Possession Wall Pass:

8 Players with 1 ball.

4 players on the outside are always on the side of the 2 players in possession of the ball.

The 2 other players are trying to gain possession. The players on the outside have to stay there and are only allowed to wall pass the ball each time. First team to make 10 passes wins.

Possession

Numbers Fitness:

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. After each pass, the player should run around one of the cones on the boundary.

Possession

Move Along the Line:

4 players have to keep possession against 2 defenders with the restriction that the players in possession can only move on the line they are on. Swap players in the middle when they have taken the ball 5x.

Possession

Passing through a line of defence:

Create 2 end zones either side of a line. 2 players are in each end zone and 2 defenders on the line.

The players in the end zones can pass the ball to each other laterally but the aim is to try and pass the ball from one end zone to the other, without the ball being intercepted by the defenders who can only defend on the line.

See how many passes the teams can score against the defenders.

When the defenders have intercepted the ball 3 times the players who played the last pass change over and become the defenders.
