A possession game where the team must deliberately enter a central box and then release the ball out through the opposite side before scoring a point.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a 34x26m pitch with a 7x7m central box. Play 6v6. A point requires a controlled pass or carry into the box followed by a successful pass out through the opposite half of the field while possession is maintained.
Coaching Points
Enter the box only with support available | Receiver scans the far side before receiving | Pressure will collapse centrally, so exit quickly | Support underneath the release | Do not enter and leave through the same lane
Progressions
- Limit the central receiver to one touch and allow a second defender to enter the box.
Regressions
- Protect the central receiver from pressure and widen the box.
