Preparation:

  • The players with ball line up, on the sideline. The other players stand opposite to eachother, about 6 meters from the player with ball.

 

Exercise:

  • Player A dribbles forward, while player B jogs backwards across the field.
  • As the players jog across the field, player A passes the ball to B, who passes back to A, just until they reach the opposite sideline.
  • The roles reverse when the players reach the other side of the field. Player A then runs backwards to the line where they started.

Organisation:

The game is played 3:3 with extra players on the sides, the outfield players. These 2 players are with the ball-carrying team.
Encourage the offside players to play quickly.
The offside players can also dribble with the ball first
After a few minutes, they must either play directly or pass and play
If this is going well, you can also let the two offside players play directly.
The players on the outside are not allowed to score
After 10 minutes or a little less, change the outfielders.





Remarks:

After the offside players have to accept and play, the game runs better. There is
more football in the game
now
, while in the beginning the outfielders were running a lot with the ball
.

Points of attention:

Try to play directly.
Make sure they use the sides and do not always go for their own success.
