Apply pressure, regain possession and then use the ball in this session. Use this session as a standalone activity, or combine it with two progressions to create a full session
Allows the Reds to work on pressing structure and cues in a fun, game-like scenario.
Use the same area as before, but add in two small goals.
The Reds have two players in the end zone, with three remaining in the middle. They can tackle. The two Blue teams keep possession and remain in the end zones. They must make at least three passes before transferring the ball, below waist height. If the Reds win the ball, they can score in the small goal. Swap roles after two minutes. The Blues get one point for a transfer; the Reds get one point for a goal.
Progression: If the Blues pass through the middle of the Reds, they get three points. The Blues can play the ball in the air, but only from their widest players and it must be a diagonal pass.
