Directional Possession to End Targets

Keep possession to find and use a free target player, then switch. Circulate to move the defenders, play into the open target on one side, and switch quickly to the target on the other.

Setup & instructions

Three players keep the ball from two defenders in a 24x18 yard grid, with a target player at each end. Score a point by playing into a target, who lays it back, then switch and find the other target. Keep the ball to move the defenders and open a target, and switch fast when one end is shut. Rotate the targets and defenders.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Keep to move the defenders, not for its own sake
  • Recognise which target is open and play the moment it is
  • Target receives and lays it back on the half turn
  • Switch quickly when one end is closed off
  • Support on angles so there are always two ways out

Common mistakes

  • Keeping the ball with no intent to use a target
  • Forcing it into a marked target
  • Slow to switch when the near end is shut
  • Flat support, offering no angle to the target

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • One or two touches only
  • Add a defender to press the targets
  • Score double for switching end to end in one sequence

Regressions

  • Add a spare player for a 4v2 in the middle
  • Make the defenders passive to groove the switch
  • Widen the grid to open the passing lanes
