🎉 Improve Passing Weight and Accuracy | Mini Ballers P47

Engage your youth players with this exciting small-sided game designed to develop their passing weight and accuracy. We create two scoring zones (size adjusted for age group) and a 4 v 4 game in the central area. The objective is for the team in possession to create precise opportunities to pass the ball into the scoring zone. A goal is awarded if the ball stops within the zone. The game promotes teamwork, precision, and strategic passing, with the team scoring the most goals within the set time period emerging as the winner! 🎉⚽️

⚽️ Turn and Attack! | Mini Ballers P45

This small-sided game is designed for our Mini Ballers to develop their close control and turning abilities. The fun begins as the team in possession aims to have one player dribble into the end zone and swiftly turn out, evading the pressure of a single defender allowed in the zone. Once the attacker escapes the end zone, their mission is to charge towards the opposite end and finish in the mini goal. Points are awarded for their efforts: 1 point for successfully exiting the end zone and 2 points for scoring a goal afterward. Keep your Mini Ballers engaged and improving with this dynamic, skill-building game! 🎉⚽️

Perfect for coaches and players looking to develop their understanding when transitioning from 7-aside to 9-a-side play.

⚽️ Defend the Zones | Mini Ballers P44

This small-sided game is designed to help Mini Ballers develop their defending skills as a compact unit. The objective for the defending team is to stay compact and prevent attackers from passing through or dribbling into the end zone, where they can finish. The focus is on defending this area effectively and winning possession to counter-attack and finish. Each time defenders win the ball and counter to finish, they are awarded 2 goals. This game not only sharpens defending skills but also encourages quick transitions and counter-attacks, making it an exciting and comprehensive practice for your Mini Ballers! 🙌⚽️

💪 Pressing as a Unit (433) | 10-P14

Ready to level up your team's defensive pressing? This 11 v 11 practice on a full pitch is designed to develop your players' ability to apply coordinated defensive pressure. To start, the coach initiates a 3 v 3 attack versus defence scenario. If the defenders win possession, they transition the ball into the middle zone for a 7 v 7 battle. In this phase, the defending fullbacks (Red 2 and 3) must press high, working with the team to regain possession. If they succeed, they counter quickly, with an extra player joining to create a 4 v 3 attacking overload in the final zone. Coaches have the flexibility to restart play in either the first or middle zone, introducing different scenarios for players to navigate. Get your team mastering high-pressure situations and rapid transitions with this comprehensive practice! 💪⚽️
