Description:
OK, the
title probably got you to read this far. Too many teams focus so intently
on scoring that their entire approach is unidirectional--whichever
direction the goal is in. Players focus on scoring so much that they never
fully develop the ability to see space and control opportunity around them
in other directions. This game solves that problem.
Setup just like a regular small sided game with even sides:
3v3 20x30 yds.
4v4 25x35 yds.
5v5 30x40 yds.
Oh, and there are no goals.
Each team needs to string together consecutive passes. Their score is the
high count of the number of passes they can make consecutively without an
opponent intercepting the ball.
After a few minutes they lose sight of which end of the field they
initially perceived as theirs to defend. They start to move to space and
they start to communicate.
If a ball is lost out of bounds, the other team brings it back in--set
your own rule on dribble in or throw in, depending on how much work you
need with throws.
If players still try to dribble too much, remind them that it's the
passing that counts. If it continues, you can institute a number of
touches rule.
