Last update: january 2026
Formation
- The team stands in two groups ready behind a marker.
- Two players run simultaneously.
- The next player departs when the pair has passed the first cone.
- The players receive an activity from the trainer and perform it once.
- On the way back, they run back and join the end of the line.
- Jogging
- Knees up
- Heel-to-butt
- Sideways left
- Sideways right
- Arm swings forward
- Arm swings backward
- Jump over cones with both feet simultaneously
- Sprint to cone and run backwards
- Shoulder push and sprint
- The rising player (O) starts with the ball and plays it to the striker (S).
- The striker gives the ball back to the midfielder (M), who then gives the ball to the up-and-coming player.
- The intention is for the up-and-coming player to sprint the running action.
- It is all about the right timing.
- The up-and-coming player must keep a close eye on the bounce between striker and midfielder and judge when to give the ball deep.
- Starting too early would mean running offside.
- Starting too late would mean that the ball is intercepted by a defender.
- Running too slowly would mean being overtaken by a defender.
- The emerging player eventually plays with the ball to the emerging player on the other side and becomes the midfielder there.
- The midfielder becomes the striker, the striker becomes the emerging player
- Left and right 2 rows are made
- Between the rows is a gate
- The player gets into the ball and must turn left or right around the gate.
- The turn must be 180 degrees and at high speed because the player who plays in will be tagged
- Good shooting and not being tagged earns you a point
- If you tag, the tagger gets a point.
Attention.
- Player must move towards the ball for the take, so not stand still between the gates.
- If he doesn't make it because of the tagging, move back and again towards the gate.
- 2 Goals on a 10 x 10 pitch
- 2 rows of players opposite the goals
- 1 player in the middle
- The player of row 1 starts and tries to score in the opposite goal
- The other player tries to prevent this and when he has conquered the ball he can score in the other goal.
- If the ball is out or if a goal is scored, the player in line 1 starts to try to score in the goal opposite him
- The player who was in the middle goes out
- The player from row 1 becomes defender
High intensity
- The player waiting in the line must start immediately when the ball is out of play.
- The team stands ready in 2 groups behind a pawn.

- On the side, the outside player plays one-on-one with the defender, a cross follows with the center attacker and the outside player from the other side closing in on the goal.
- If the defenders get rid of the ball, the attackers turn and a new attacker plays the ball to the other side.
- When the defenders have intercepted the ball three times, the defenders switch between them
