PYRAMID BLOCK. Group Play
PURPOSE. To learn “effective” possession.( Balance between possession and the “Killer Pass”)
AGE. U12, U16.
SET UP.
A 30 x 25 meter field with three small goals and a 5-meter shooting line in front of them at each end.
ACTION
Teams play 3v3 in the middle 20 meters and can only score from inside the shooting zone in front of their opponent’s goal.
A player from each team plays behind their teamʼs goal line. He can play as GK so that if he stands behind any goal the
opponents cannot score in it.
Inside players can pass to GK but must change roles with him.
When a goal is scored the GK behind the goal changes with his teammate.
COACHʼS TIP.
Condition game in the middle to allow goals for a number of consecutive passes and keep a high tempo game
PLAYERʼS TIP.
Try to make fast breakouts from the GK position whenever the chance allows in the run of play.
