You can really challenge your players’ concentration and reaction skills in this fun and fast-paced activity.
WHY USE IT
This is a fun, fast-paced game which tests players concentration skills and offers them different ways to score.
SET UP
You need balls, bibs, cones and two goals. Set up an area of 45 x 20 yards, split into two 20 x 20 yard zones with a five-yard space between them. We have used 18 players in the session.
HOW TO PLAY
Split the players into four teams, plus two neutral players. Teams play 4v4 on each pitch, plus a neutral player who plays for the team in possession. Number each of the four players in each team, 1-4. In the first zone, players score by receiving a pass in the end zone. In the second zone, they score by scoring in the goals. When the coach calls out a number, or a series of numbers, the relevant players switch games.
COACHING POINTS
- Communication, passing and movement, as well as concentration to hear and react to the coach’s call.
