Keeping the ball within the team
- 15 min
- 10 players
- 5v5
- Build-up play
About 10 players, balls, area 20x15 m, bibs. The task is to keep the ball within the team. Two teams each have a ball. After a pass, the passer must high-five a player from the other team. Progression 1 – Forward roll: The players do a forward roll instead of a high five after passing. Progression 2 – Defenders: 2 defenders try to win the ball. When the defenders win it, they keep the ball for as long as they can. Play with one ball (about 8v2).
