Technique for each of the games

• Use long and short passes and create triangles using the players in the middle.
• All players should be moving to support the pass, opening passing routes to give options to the player on the ball.
• Positioning, movement and decision making are the keys to the games
• Speed of play is important – in the videos the speed is fast but at first you will not get that speed this is what you are eventually aiming to achieve

Playing rules

• The player that loses the ball or causes a mistake swaps with the defender
• You want to see one and two touch passing
• Players on the sides should move on the lines trying to be in the best position for a pass
• Triangles and passing to the players in space is key
• Passing team must keep the ball for as long as possible, while the defenders look to have one pressing and one covering to create errors and win the ball
