• Players in three set-up positions.
• Cross in front of each other during passing and take over the position.

• Players in two set-up positions.
• Trainer in the middle inside the 9-meter line.
• Right half plays ball to trainer and runs towards goal in front of trainer.
• In the meantime the left half receives the ball and passes to the goal.
• Left wing starts after playing the ball in front of the trainer.
• The left wing receives the ball from the trainer and passes to the goal.

• Bring up the ball in 2 teams from your own 6 meter area.
• On your own half of the field you encounter 1 defender (stays only on this half of the field).
• On the other half of the field you encounter 2 defenders, but you also have a circle runner offensively.

• Red brings the ball up to the other side and tries to score.
• Pairs start from the back line.
• As soon as red makes a goal attempt, green may start to score a breakout at the opposite side.
• Red defends back.
• When green has taken a goal they have to go back to defend the other two red players.
• These have of course started at the moment that green has taken a goal attempt.
• This exercise can continue in a flowing way, because the players keep coming back to their own side.
• You can do this on time (which group has scored the most goals?) or you can choose who has scored the most goals.

• One person on the left side of the pitch (can also be another position) and this person has to shoot as many balls at the goal as possible within 1 minute (or longer).
• The rest of the players collect balls and one of them plays the balls to the ball.
• Shooting the link-up in succession.
• Keep track of how many times the player has scored.
• When you have shot, you must walk backwards to your position. Keep changing until everyone has been there.

Variation:

• Different ways of approaching (i.e. slightly inwards or outwards etc.)
• Different shots (underhand throw, bend throw, out of the way, etc.)
• Use more than 1 position

• Blue crosses over,
• Red must try to get rid of the ball.
• Ball away? -> defend until everyone has lost their ball.
• Too easy?
  • Extra defenders.
  • 3 times a ticker,
  • whoever catches the balls in the shortest time is the winner.
