Hold-Up Battle in the End Zone

95951234123478
Area

45×35 m, an 8 m deep end zone marked with cones in front of each end line, 2 mini-goals on each end line

But du jeu

Play forward into a high striker who holds off his marker with his body, then support him fast to finish together.

Règles & consignes

  1. 01

    Each team has 1 striker in the opposing end zone and 1 marker in its own end zone. The 4 others and the 2 jokers play in the middle zone.

  2. 02

    The jokers play with the team that has the ball. The team in possession builds up in the middle zone, 3 touches max.

  3. 03

    A goal counts only after a pass into the striker. The marker defends him with body contact, no holding with hands.

  4. 04

    After the pass into the striker, 1 midfielder may sprint into the end zone. Set 2: 2 midfielders may join and the marker gets 1 helper.

  5. 05

    You score by the striker turning and finishing, or by his lay-off for a midfielder who finishes. Ball out or goal: the other team restarts from its end zone.

Points de coaching

  • ✓

    OFF: watch whether the striker gets contact with the marker before the pass arrives; ask him to lean back and show for the ball

  • ✓

    DEF: correct markers standing 2 m away; ask for touch-tight contact and a step in front when the pass is slow

  • ✓

    PHY: ask the midfielder to sprint the moment the ball travels, not after the striker receives
