Game with Three Groups
Game played with three groups, one group at a time on the sideline. Can be played as 3v3v3 or 2v2v2. Keep the game tempo fast, the coach puts a new ball in play when the previous one goes out of bounds. Playing teams change quickly, for example, whenever a goal is scored on the field -> the team that scored continues on the field and the other goes to the sideline. Can be played as a competition, e.g., "championship tournament" where the first team to stay on the field for 3 consecutive goals wins the championship. Instead of goals, you can also rotate every 1-2 minutes if one team seems dominant.
Mini tournament
Players' favorite Progressive Field Games! The number of fields can be scaled according to the number of players. Can also be played on six fields with small goals, for example. Games can be anything from 2v2 to 5v5. Typically, each game lasts 4-5 minutes. One field is designated as the "top field," which players aim to reach. After each game, the winning team moves up to the next field, while the losing team moves down. Winners on the top field stay there, and losers on the bottom field remain there. In case of a tie, the winner is decided by a quick method like rock-paper-scissors. You can assign names to the fields for added motivation. For instance, the top field could be called "Premier League" and the bottom field "Lower Division." The final is the last game of the day on the top field, and its winner is crowned the overall champion of the Progressive Field Games. This drill keeps all players engaged, encourages competitive play, and helps develop quick decision-making skills in small spaces - key elements in modern football training.
Listen & Group Up
Area is a circle or square, some players with a ball and some without. The coach gives instructions on what kind of group to form, and players must follow the instruction. For example, "Four players, two balls!" The goal is to be able to form groups quickly; each task can also be given a time limit (e.g., 30s). Make it harder: More complex instructions, e.g., "Group with eight feet and two balls. Two hands on the ground!"
