To seek the flanks instead of hitting the ball through the centre of the field. Teams look for solutions and are inclined to shift the game. This increases the percentage of ball possession.
Setup
Two teams are formed, depending on the number of available players. In the middle of the field, there is a square or rectangle where neither the ball nor the player may pass through.
Variations
Adjust the size of the square or rectangle to change the level of difficulty. The larger this area, the more challenging it becomes.
You can agree that players may run through the area, but the ball may not pass through it.
Ensure there are no items in the area and use flat cones to prevent tripping.
With an odd number of players, you can play with a 'chameleon'. This player always joins the attacking team and thus constantly changes roles.
Place balls at the side of the field so that when a ball is out, a new ball can be immediately picked up to continue play.
As a trainer, stand in the middle of the field and coach both teams.
