Objective
- Teams attempt to score on the goal with the goalkeeper.
- Teams must first earn the right to attack by making a pass with the trainer on the other side of the field.
- There is continuous transition between attacking and defending.
- Players must be alert and coach each other on actions and positions.
- In the event of a goal kick or when the goalkeeper has the ball, the goalkeeper plays to the team that was last defending.
- After a goal, the trainer immediately plays to the team that conceded the goal.
- Minimum width: 25 metres.
- Minimum length: 40 metres.
- Preferably play in a numerical disadvantage or advantage situation.
Execution
- For each player, place two cones approximately 15 metres apart. This distance can be adjusted as desired.
- The player runs back and forth with the ball around the cone.
- Upon return, the player stops the ball next to the cone.
- Then, the player runs back and forth at a high pace around the cone without the ball.
- The fastest player wins.
- Repeat the desired number of times.
- Try reversing the order: first without the ball and then with the ball.
Warm-up
- The goalkeeper plays to the requesting central defender who drops back.
- The central defender passes back to the goalkeeper.
- The goalkeeper controls with the furthest foot and plays to the requesting attacking midfielder.
- The attacking midfielder controls with the furthest foot and passes back to the central defender.
- The central defender plays to the requesting striker who drops back.
- The striker controls with the furthest foot and turns out.
- The striker slaloms through cones back to the starting position.
- The goalkeeper takes the place of the central defender, the central defender takes the place of the attacking midfielder, and the attacking midfielder takes the place of the striker.
- Ball control with the left foot, pass with the right foot - or vice versa.
- Other technical or warm-up exercise along the cones instead of dribbling.
- The exercise can be applied on both sides.
Execution
- A variation of the standard match play is executed.
- Behind each goal, there are 4 to 5 cones.
- As soon as team A scores, the scorer takes a cone from behind the goal where the goal was scored.
- The player runs as quickly as possible around the field to their own goal and places the cone there.
- Only after this may the player rejoin the game.
- A natural underload/overload moment arises.
- Players who "cut corners" must turn back, return the won cone, and then return to their own goal from outside the field.
Game Principle
- Upon losing possession, the team must immediately apply pressure on the ball.
- The objective is to regain the ball as quickly as possible.
- The red team plays in possession of the ball.
- The yellow team attempts to take the ball away.
- If the yellow team gains possession, they try to score immediately in one of the four goals.
- The red team must prevent this by applying immediate pressure.
- The field is small to encourage quick attempts on goal.
- Observe whether pressure is applied upon losing the ball.
- Analyse who applies pressure and who does not.
- Assess the intensity of the pressure applied.
- Use small goals if there are no goalkeepers.
- Allow the team with fewer players to score by dribbling out of the field.
- Award points to the team with more players for a number of successful passes.
- Award points to the team with more players if they regain possession without a goal attempt from the team with fewer players.
- Adjust the number of goals.
- Count goals from the team with fewer players as more valuable.
