Switching play warm up - U16's
Play on half field.
1. Have two teams separated by colored pinnies. Each team has one ball.
2. Two players from each team are placed in the opposite corners.
3. Players move around freely, moving the ball from one side to the other, passing to their own team mates. Players only use their ball, they cannot interfere with the opposite teams ball.
4. Once the ball is passed to the corner player, the player who has passed the ball, switches positions. The corner player now starts the move.
Focus on:
· Team Work
· Communication
· Move the ball quickly to the opposite side.
· Make sure the players play realistically.
· Open body shape.
· First touch.
Variation:
· Limit players to 2 touches.
· Play with one ball. Now players play possession soccer. Once a team wins the ball, they can pass to any corner, and then switch to the opposite corner.
