Watch this coaching video direct from Cupello's partner Felipe Ragel in Barcelona, Spain showing positioning games that work with 9 players including 3v3+3, 4v4+1 and 6v3. Watch and use in your training practice.
Things to look for when playing these games:
The possession team is looking to create triangles with players moving to make it easier for the player on the ball to pass it
Use one and two touch play
Use long and short passes and create triangles using the players in the middle.
All players should be moving to support the pass, opening passing routes to give options to the player on the ball.
Positioning, movement and decision making are the keys to the games
Speed of play is important – in the videos the speed is fast but at first you will not get that speed this is what you are eventually aiming to achieve.
