The Moment You Lose It

15 min · Intermediate · 8+ players · Medium space

Description

Setup
A 30 by 25 yard box, 4v4, two small goals. Coach with spare balls on the side.
Play
Normal game, but the coach shouts TURNOVER at random and throws a new ball to the other team. Whoever had it must react instantly.
Score
Win the ball back within six seconds of a turnover and your team gets a point, whether or not you score.
Harder
Four seconds. Or the team that lost it must win it back before anyone can drop behind the ball.
Easier
Eight seconds, and let the coach point out who should press first.
