The team must transfer the ball from one “outer-player” to the other. 2 min of exercise, 1 min of rest.
Area: Half a soccer field divided with two small outer-zones and a large middle-zone.
Number of players: 6v6 (4v4 – 10v10).
Organisation: One player (“outer-player”) is positioned in each of the outer-zones whereas the other players are in the middle-zone.
Description: The team must transfer the ball from one “outer-player” to the other.
Rules: An “outer-player” has a maximum of two touches to pass the ball to a player from the team that it was received from. If he fails, or if the ball is played out of the playing area, the other team gets possession of the ball.
Scoring: A point is scored when a team manages to transfer the ball form one “outer-player” to the other and then back to the first, without the ball being captured by the opposing team. After scoring a point the team can continue and score another point by transferring the ball to the opposite “outer-player”.
Time intervals: 2 min of exercise, 1 min of rest.
Variations:
- The number of times a player can consecutively touch the ball is limited, e.g. a maximum of 2.
- The “outer-players” are only allowed to touch the ball once.
- The teams have one “outer-player” in each outer-zone. The players have to pass the ball to an “outer-player” from their own team. The “outer-players” are allowed an unlimited number of ball touches.
