Moving the Game

One rectangle is divided into two spaces, two smaller rectangles. Make two teams: one orange and one blue. A positional play starts in one of the smaller rectangles. The orange team (that's in majority) has to keep ball possession by playing around 10 times without interception. When blue is able to intercept the ball, they have to move the ball through the illuminated SmartGoal to the other rectangle. Now blue is in majority, because two players of orange have to stay behind in their "own" rectangle.

Through Ball Playmaking

This exercise is in fact a usual positional play. Several SmartGoals are placed at two opposite sides of the pitch. When a team has managed to play the ball around 5 times, they have to try to score in the illuminated SmartGoal. Players are only allowed to enter the space behind the SmartGoals (scoring zone) when their team have managed to play the ball around 5 times.
