Set Up:
-
Set up field as shown. Each box is 10 x 10 yds (bigger or smaller depending on ability)
-
Play 3v1 in each corner box, with one attacking player stationed in the opposite corner.
-
When the attacking team completes 3 or more passes (depending on ability), an attacker can break out of the box and run with the ball into the center box. The attacker stationed in the box opposite runs into the center box to take the ball from the dribbler. He then dribbles back into the 3v1, and play resumes.
-
Play for 1 minute and then switch defender in the center.
-
Attacking teams get a point for each takeover in the center box.
Coaching Points:
-
Open your body to take your first touch into open space.
-
When trying to leave the box, start running with your first touch.
-
Speed dribble into the takeover.
