In Possession · Switching Play
Switching Play Practice
Aim
To create a shape that allows the ball to be moved quickly from one side of the playing area to the other.
Numbers
- 4v4, with a 2v2 in the middle. Can also be played with higher numbers.
- If numbers are odd, use neutral players for the in-possession team.
How it works
- 2 players from each team are positioned on the outside, opposite each other on different sides of the pitch.
- The aim is to get the ball from one side to the other.
- The outside players can move along their line and act as bounce players for their team.
- A point is scored each time the ball is successfully played from one side to the other.
Transitions
- If the opposing team wins the ball, they must switch it from their player on one side to their player on the other.
Progressions
- Overload one team.
