End zone game — Football Drill

Attacking, Possession, Passing, Small-Sided Games

3v3 end zone game with two jokers. The jokers play in the end zones with the team in possession. The jokers can join the attack, creating temporary numerical superiority. A goal is scored when a player receives a pass in the end zone

Quality Factors

Creating and using numerical superiority when the joker joins in. Depth and width in the game - when to play through the joker, when to play direct. Transition to defending when the joker is high up and a temporary outnumbered situation is created.

Key Questions

• Joker: when do you join in and when do you stay in the end zone?
• Do you make use of the numerical superiority before the defending team can adjust?
• What happens when you lose possession with the joker high up?
• Do you recognise when passing into the end zone is better than the joker joining in?
