DESCRIPTION

Both C players for each team start with a ball both in the centre circle facing the dirction they are shooting and the coach blows their whistle to start the game.

Each team is trying to score as many goals as possible during the time frame.
The game has 2 balls going at the same time.
Every time a goal is scored the GK takes a back line pass.
If a ball goes off the sideline normal rules apply
You may find a lot of the time there be two balls down one end, this is then where your centre court players should make a difference.

If a team intercepts/takes the ball they must try to get it to their shooters to score a goal.

When a goal is scored or goes off the backline the ball goes to the GK or GD for a backline throw in.

Coach to keep score of the game - extra players can score and umpire where needed.

COACHING POINTS

Players need to demonstrate their peripheral vision when playing this game as it requires players to focus on more than one ball.

Players need to be driving onto the ball to lose ther opponent and take clear possession of the ball to increase their team's chances on goal.

The centre court players will be working the hardest as the balls should be moving quickly up and down the court - once the shooters have the ball the centre court players shoud be looking to take possession of the next ball.

Players need to communicate with another at all times and may even find it easier to work in pairs e.g. the GA and C and GS and WA so the shooters always have a supporting player on top of the circle.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Run out and touch cone - Conditioned Game:

After players have made a pass they must then run to any cone on the outside of the court and touch it before re-joining the game.

Depending on the ability of your players, you can condition the game so the defenders must follow them to the cone.

Small games

10 passes to score:

1 team starts with the ball and tries and make 10 consecutive passes. The other team can send 1 or 2 players across to try and win the ball for their side.

If the other team wins possession back for their team the roles reverse in other area (10 passes scores a point.)

Small games

Run vs pass game:

Two equal teams

The team on the outside have to run a relay around the outside of all the cones (each player runs around once).

Meanwhile the players in the middle have to pass the ball around the smaller square and see how many times they can pass the ball around their square in the time it takes the other team to all round the outside.

Swap teams.
