Possession with Short Range Passing and Cooperation

The soccer tactic game focuses on developing possession with short range passes, decision making and cooperation. This line-game also aims to learn the players how to control the direction of the play in width and depth with combination play and how to change the sides with fast, short passes instead of long balls. The soccer game helps to practise taking the ball out of a dangerous zone and play with short passes to a safe area.

Organisation

Cones are used to mark an approximately 40x40 meters playing field. 
The field is divided into 9 equal squares to help the players to orient, harmonize their supporting movements and adjust the optimal distances between them to be able to play with short passes.
There are 2 goal lines and five small goals are also created by cones as shown.
The aim of the game is to dribble the ball through the opponent's goal line. That means one score plus when a player dribbles through the ball across one of the small goals or passes to one of his teammates during the game. 
So the team in possession can score 2-3 or more goals in one attack.
12-16 players can take part in the exercise for the optimal execution.
If it’s necessary we can change the size of the area during the game.
Players can be located according to the given system and formation.
There is offside during the game.

Description and Graphics

The main rule is that, the players cannot use long balls, which misses out a square.
They must control the width - depth play and perform the changing sides in such a way that the ball must always be played into one of the next squares in width, depth or diagonal.
