Exercise 6 - Switch Play Area to Area

DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE (TECHNIQUE / SKILL)

Physical Fitness - Football Game

ORGANISATION

2 Teams

5 Oranges play 5 Yellows ( or 4v4)

5 Oranges keep possession of ball in their 20 x 20 area v 3-4 Yellows

Remaining Yellows 1-2, stay in opposite 20 x 20 half

When Yellows win ball back they immediately try to switch play back to waiting yellows in opposite area

All yellows switch to new area to support team mates to keep ball

3-4 Oranges leave their area and press the ball to win it back to switch play, etc.

KEY OBSERVATION

Work for 2 mins (start with short interval)

Rest for 2-4 mins

Change Area / Duration / No of Players as your observation improves

Change conditions

Have Resting teams and working teams

Time everything - if players tire quickly - stop before time is up
