Session Plan: Possession Game with End Zones
Setup:
Prepare an area suitable for a minimum of 10 players, with designated end zones at each end of the playing field.
Execution:
In this practice, a minimum of 10 players is required, with two players positioned inside the end zones, serving as targets for the players in the central area.
- The two players located within the end zones actively participate in the possession game, contributing to their team’s ball movement.
- Emphasize quick ball circulation among the players in the end zones.
- Create various scenarios to influence the objectives of the practice.
Variations:
Introduce variations to enhance the learning experience:
- Implement a “pressing trigger” mechanism where one of the end zone players can enter the central area when pressed by an opponent. Following engagement, they should rotate with a player from the central group, fostering dynamic movement and adaptability within the game.
