Tactical Focus:
Maintain Possession
|
 |
The objective of the game is to maintain possession of the ball by kicking it between players. |
|
A point after a team can make five successful passes in a row. |
|
Opposing team must try to intercept the ball after it has been passed. They can not take a ball away once a team has it under possession. |
|
Once opposing team gains possession of the ball it is their turn to pass the ball around while the other team attempts to regain possession. |
|
 |
 |
|
To simplify, players throw and catch instead of kick. |
|
Introduce the use of implements (e.g., field hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, etc). |
|
Limit the number of "touches" on the ball. For example, when kicking, on player can only touch the ball 2 times (control then kick). |
|
Add a pylon at each end and teams can score a "bonus point" after 5 successful passes. |

|
What are effective ways to try and maintain possession of the ball in order to score points? |
|
Individuals without the ball must move into open space so that their teammate with the ball can make a successful pass to them. |
|
Quick ball movement makes it harder for the other team to to to defend, but also makes it harder to make accurate passes. |
|
Team without the ball must closely guard their opponents and block all passing lanes to prevent any successful passes from being made. |
|
|
 |
|
Deflate the ball to slow it down |
