EXPLANATION

Start with 2 side-by-side games (shown here as 4v4) – on a signal, 2 players in one color switch games with 2 players in the same color in the opposite game Initial signal – coach calls out color

PROGRESSION

Switch on 5 passes in a row by opponent

Goal scored – team keeps ball, change direction, 2 defenders must switch

COACHING POINTS

Use verbal communication to quickly determine which 2 players will switch – on switch, scan new game to determine attack/defend, best spot to fill in

If in possession + opponents switch – take advantage of numbers-up (+2) to quickly try to score If out of possession – delay, communicate
