A three-part session developing players’ spatial awareness and ability to exploit that space.
This target game enables players to develop the concepts introduced in the warm-up through a more game-realistic environment.
Split players into two teams. Set up an area relative to the age and ability of your players, with a target zone at each end. Each team has a target player in one end zone; the rest of the players set up in the centre of the playing area. When the practice progresses, grids will need to be marked out in the central area.
Teams aim to pass the ball into their own target player. To progress, add grids into the central area. Players must now aim to only receive the ball in an empty grid.
