5v5+2 Corner Jokers — Exit Through a New Side

A possession game with two neutral players working from opposite corners. Once one corner joker is used, the possession team cannot score through the same side again until it has connected another side.

Use corner neutrals to escape pressure, with the next exit required to come through a different side of the area.

Organization

Mark a 26x24m square and play 5v5 inside. Place one neutral in each of two opposite corner boxes. A point is scored by using a corner joker and then carrying or passing through a different side gate before returning to a corner.

Coaching Points

Do not stay around the corner that was just used | Opposite-side support opens early | Corner joker plays with a clear next-side picture | Switch the point of support before pressure locks the area | Maintain central options while stretching wide

Progressions

  • Make both corner jokers one touch.

Regressions

  • Allow the team to reuse the same side after connecting the corner joker.
