On-field preparations

     
Resources you will need   Grids   Channels
  • One ball for each group of five
    players
  • 24 marker cones
  • Bibs or bands to differentiate
    between groups of players (if
    the players aren’t wearing
    strips)
 
  • Mark out grids and squares, using lines and / or marker cones on the playing surface
  • The size of the grids should be determined by the age and ability of the players, and the type of activity being performed. For young players, grids of 10m x 10m are adequate
  • Several grids can be joined to make larger areas by the removal of the central marker cone, as shown above, facilitating quick movement through the session.
 
  • Channels are made by combining grids to form an elongated area
  • They are particularly good for practising passing in groups.
