The station circuit
Groups of six rotate through four stations on half a pitch: 3v3 to mini-goals, 1v1 channels, dribble and shoot with the coach, passing gates.
Rules
- Each station occupies a quarter of the half pitch
- 7 minutes per station, then rotate clockwise on the whistle with a minute to drink and move
- Coach stays at the dribble and shoot station; the others run on simple known rules
- 3v3 station self-referees: conceding team restarts from its goal line, disputes go to the team that did not touch last
Coaching points
- Keep groups fixed from the start so rotations are quick
