Mastering the ball: keeping possession

This game can be used with a variety of numbers from 1v1 right through to 6v6 and all variations in between (including under/overloading). Create more space and make the players think by facing the goals backwards.

Each team is trying to play a possession-based game and score. If the ball goes out then players can dribble in or pass to a teammate. Encourage players to experiment and try different ways to be creative.

Progress the game by asking your players to:

• try to stay on the ball until they can pass forward
• try to have as many touches as they can whilst keeping the ball for their team.

Plus add any individual challenges you have for each player.
