  • Position game replay 15-20 minutes.
  • Go from easy to difficult:
    • Level 1, 7 or 8 against 3. (if the ball goes round between 15 and 20 times, move on to the next level, the levels take place over weeks and not in 1 training session) 
    • Level 2, 7 against 4.
    • Level 3, 7/6 against 5. (10 times around is next)
    • Level 4, 6 against 6.
  • Coach on finding the easy ball and trying to pass the ball into space. 
  • When a level doesn't work out, make the field bigger or go back a level. 
  • Try to coach your technique training positively when you see the action in positional play (e.g. turning open or handball).
  • BB is making the field big, BBT is making the field small.
