Defensive game
For this game we'll work on a defensive theme with the phase of play "stop the opponent progressing" and the game principle "slow down the opponent's progress, organise and reorganise the lines".
The objective is defensive too, of course (logically): "Improve collective defensive organisation".
It's a game that can be adapted to every age group (8-a-side or 11-a-side); you'll need 18 players.
A game of basic complexity, but it demands a lot of concentration and adaptation in the team's transitions: with these instructions, a quick defensive transition is essential to stop the opponent quickly finding the confined midfielders (yellow, attacking only) and scoring 1 point. Defensive teamwork, but above all transition work.
