**Designing a Dynamic Game Scenario**

In designing a dynamic game scenario, it's essential to consider various factors that can change the flow and strategy of the game. For instance, we can have four teams, each with their unique abilities and challenges. This setup allows for multiple variations and adaptations throughout the game.

To make the game more engaging, we can introduce team-specific rules or objectives. One approach is to assign points based on specific conditions, such as completing a certain number of passes within a set timeframe. For example, every five passes completed by a team could earn them a point, while every ten passes earned would result in an additional point.

When designing the game scenario, it's crucial to strike a balance between possession and scoring. To achieve this, we can create different progression paths for teams. One approach is to focus on maintaining possession, using quick movements and fluid passing sequences to control the ball. As the team gains possession, they can look to score by penetrating space quickly and efficiently.

However, an alternative design could prioritize scoring over possession. In this scenario, teams would need to penetrate space rapidly and consistently to succeed. This approach emphasizes speed and agility over sustained possession.

To create a more dynamic game, we can incorporate different gameplay elements, such as goalkeepers and penalty areas. By setting up specific objectives for each team, we can increase the level of competition and excitement throughout the game.

**Gameplay Mechanics**

In this design, players will have to navigate various challenges and opportunities throughout the game. The ball will be played into one half of the field initially, where two teams will try to control it. To achieve their objectives, they will need to work together, using communication and coordination to create scoring opportunities.

The opposing team will look to win the ball back by focusing on central areas of the field. This requires a high level of teamwork and strategic thinking, as players must work together to neutralize the attacking team's momentum.

One key gameplay mechanic is the use of floaters, who are positioned on the outside of the field. These players will have limited time to play the ball back into the middle, where their teammates can receive it. By doing so, they create a high-intensity environment, as both teams must respond quickly to changing circumstances.

To add an extra layer of complexity, we can introduce the concept of "switching" – where players can switch positions on the fly. This creates opportunities for new attacking threats and challenges for the opposing team's defense.

**Player Movement and Creativity**

Effective player movement is crucial in this design, as it allows teams to create scoring opportunities and respond to opponents' strategies. Players will need to be creative in their movements, using various techniques such as bouncing, pivoting, and feints to evade defenders.

The use of "angles" and "planes" becomes important here, as players must navigate the field while maintaining possession of the ball. By creating space through movement and passing sequences, teams can outmaneuver their opponents and create scoring chances.

When a player receives the ball, they will need to decide whether to play it in the same direction or try to change the angle of attack. This requires a high degree of spatial awareness and decision-making, as players must anticipate the movements of their teammates and opponents alike.

**Scoring Opportunities**

In this design, scoring opportunities are generated through a combination of team possession and individual creativity. Teams will need to work together to maintain possession and create space, while also relying on individual players to make split-second decisions that unlock scoring chances.

To increase the level of challenge, we can introduce specific conditions for earning points. For example, if a team scores within a certain number of passes from gaining possession, they may earn additional points. This creates an element of urgency and raises the stakes throughout the game.

**Final Thoughts**

In conclusion, designing a dynamic game scenario requires careful consideration of various factors, including gameplay mechanics, player movement, and scoring opportunities. By incorporating elements such as team-specific rules, objectives, and penalties, we can create a more engaging and challenging experience for players.

Ultimately, the key to success lies in striking a balance between possession and scoring, while also introducing creative twists and challenges throughout the game. By experimenting with different design approaches and gameplay mechanics, we can craft a unique and exciting experience that will captivate players of all skill levels.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enwelcome to session sunday hi guys it's jack edwards and in today's video we're going to be focusing on practice and penetrating space but before we get into this week's video make sure to leave us a like and subscribe and if you missed last week's video click on the link above okay so moving into the first part of this week's session we're going to be focusing on a technical unopposed and practice okay so we're going to be focusing on receiving the ball taken into space but before we get into it let's have a look how many players we're working with this week and the equipment that we'll be using so for the full session we're going to be working with 12 players okay we can adapt that for more and less players as well we're not going to be working with goalkeepers okay but for the second two and practices you can add goalkeepers in so if you want to do at the start you can send the goalkeepers off to do a warm-up and and work on some goalkeeper specific training and then bring them in and when you're going to move on to part two and part three now in terms of the equipment we're gonna be focusing on using balls bibs cones then if you have poles on mannequins that'll be brilliant okay to use so the players gotta focus on getting away from a defender and then when we move into using small sided goals you can use the poles instead to mark out the area if you don't have small sided goals now in terms of the setup for this part of the session you're going to split your group into two groups of six okay maybe two groups or seven two groups of eight okay now in terms of the depth okay so from the cone here to here each side okay we're going to have 10 yards so we're going 10 20 then we're gonna have three yards in here okay so you've got so you've got a 13-yard pass into here and then there's five yards in the middle okay so if you think about it you've got 20 yards in here then it goes to 26 and then about 30 to 31 yards and then we're going to have 10 yards either side as well so 20 yards of width and these players are going to start central okay and out from the middle area in here now the player is going to be rotating as well and we're focusing on attacking that space okay so the ball is going to start here okay where we've got two players so if you had seven players you can have an extra player there as well the ball is going to get played into the middle player okay who looks to set it for this player to receive okay just in front of the cone okay they then look to spin out this player and this player looks to move out to where they've played to the right hand side now when once this player receives it they're going to play in a cross into this player here okay who looks to set it into space for this player to meet and then play out first time now the movement okay is going to be the player who was out wide here on the right will move central the player who was central will spin off to be the y player here okay the y player here goes to the back of this q and this player moves out wide right now what we're going to see okay is that this player is going to receive it so we're going to start here but they're then going to open out okay to receive you know after they've received it to place the display here so they will have time they run to receive this to set okay play into here and spin out to come across this way okay so then this player is going to come out to this side so these players always move to the right hand side once this player receives it here they're going to play across this this side okay and then they're going to move in short to receive it okay and set across this player here who's moved off the cone to open out so then the player who's started it will move out right this player who sorry this player who started in here will end up being central okay the player who was central spins out to here and then this player goes back to the start there so now you've got some players doing the same roles okay so what you can do is after the same amount of time to swap the players over who maybe started on the outside with some players in the middle so we're focusing on meeting that ball okay so when we're playing out here oh sorry when we're playing through here meet it to set and then create space by spinning off okay so then this player can penetrate the space through there it can get played back through okay and then we penetrate the space again by playing out so the players are moving up one each time and we're basically getting some players moving forward and back forward and back some players moving across and then some players doing different rotations as well we want to move into our first animation before moving on to part two of this week's session now moving into part two of this week's session we're now focusing more on a possession-based practice okay we're just going to be looking at switching to play so we're trying to create space to penetrate and play forward so if you did have goalkeepers for this part where you've got the defensive team in the middle when they win the ball back they could look to go and attack a goal okay but what we're going to do for now is they're going to try and win the ball back a certain amount of times okay before transitioning with one team on the outside so in terms of the setup we're gonna have two 15-yard areas okay and a 10-yard area in the middle so we've got 40 yards a total depth in terms of width okay 15 yards in here and then the outside ones okay can be between five and ten yards okay so maybe start a little bit smaller okay and then maybe increase or decrease it now if you wanted to as well these players in here can be used to switch and play but if you wanted to as well they can move in centrally okay so one good moving simply to combine and they may be able to turn and play so you don't just want them locked into the zone okay but you could say one player at a time can go in and try and help combine so they could bounce it in here they can even play out wide and then play through as well so you say the blues have to win the ball back three times okay whichever team they win them back the most off will then go in the middle so if the reds lose it twice and the yellows lose at once then obviously the reds will go in and so forth and we can do a pointed system every time one team switches the play so it comes from one team's player so if it's the reds in here every time they get to switch it into there they can get a point and so on now focus on limiting the touches so it's 3v1 in here okay now if you wanted to you go 3v2 but then you're leaving the gaps in the middle so we're trying to focus on these two boys or the players staying compact in here okay making it difficult they can't go into this area but as soon as this player comes into here they can look to intercept it so ball comes in okay we're maneuvering that ball about okay they're trying to win that ball back this play might step up okay these players come across to make it difficult to play through this side this player can either stay wide or they can drop in receive open out play across instantly okay this player can look to close down now the players on the outside can swap over with someone in the box okay when it's switched play when when the ball is in one of the opposition boxes okay can switch over so the players aren't doing the same rolls all the time sometimes these might not get as much of the ball so again what we're trying to do is stretch it to the target for this player play off different lines so this player then might move in display might move out and then again can we create space for somebody else to receive it so after we play the pass coming up to move just a couple of yards penetrate that space through there okay there's an option to turn out and play so communication as well tell the players time turn man on okay if there's anything you haven't got times please tell them can they open out and then when these when they see it past can you ask for can you demand the ball so that ball keeps switching over okay so for the blues okay they're just looking to maybe stop these passes coming through as well when players closing down one side making sure they can't play through easily and then if there's a chance to intercept it as it comes through we can do that but we'll start again with the coach and then they will go again and also these players can swap over as well at any time to make sure that certain players are getting more rest as well so utilize the space that we've got to move the ball quickly when there's a chance to play through can we do it we don't have to go through the middle we can miss the mouse so we're focusing on these players creating space that's why we've got them wide to start with so they're in the opposition in case we can play through then again if they're over one side kind of play even come in the middle to receive it to then play forward if you wanted to you could do a set mode of passes for these players so they might have to do three passes or five passes before switching it or if you wanted to it can be as soon as you've played it across it can go again so maybe look to progress that as the drill goes on we're gonna move into our next animation before moving on to the final part of this week's session okay now moving is the final part of this week's session we're now moving into it's a small sided game-based scenario focusing on possession switching play creating space to penetrate and also transition to try and score so in terms of the setup okay in terms of the depth we're gonna have 30 yards so two 15-yard areas in terms of the width 20 yards but each side and here just brought in a couple of yards we're trying to create a little diagonal line here for each one now it'd be five yards further back for each small side of goal as well so if you have goalkeepers you could look to have them involved as players in possession and then trying to save house possession so one team could attack one goal one team called the tattoo the goals are trying to penetrate space to score the yellows are going to be floaters now you could create you could have four teams if you wanted to so you could have these in greens or non bibs and you can look to swap over after certain amounts of time reds and blues were holding with greens and yellows and so forth so we can talk about a different progression there to make it different small side of the game now the ball gets played into the reds okay we've got two halves just because these two floaters are gonna stay in these halves and these players here but these players are free to move but we don't want all three players in one area okay one player is switching up okay so it could be that when this player receives the ball here this play makes that forward run across the pitch to crease piece for this player to receive okay you know bouncer here so there and it gets played back in now the floaters on the outside okay have to play back into the middle when they receive it to any player but they have to play back into the middle so the players on the outside okay after a few minutes can swap over so if you keep these three players this player can swap over here and then after a few minutes this play can swap over here and so on now the team is in possession okay every time they switch the play okay so they switch it from one box to another okay they can score a point or you could do every five passes that they get can be a point every ten passes that get it that they get as a point now when the up when the opposite team looks to win the ball back so they need to focus on winning the ball back centrally so when the ball goes into wide areas control what they can okay stop players getting the ball when the ball comes in essentially they can kind of kind of win it back and they look to score in either goal now another correct progression can be that the team in possession has to get the same amount of passes and then look to score so it could be that they have to get five passes and then whatever half they're in when they get the fifth pass they then have to switch the play to go into the other box and then score okay so that's how we can do it there now a progression can be instead of it just being possession all the time penetrate space quickly so if you had two goalkeepers let's say the reds are in this half to start they've got a score in this goal blues are in this half chinese score not go okay or you can just be they've got to work the ball into the other half to then score get the ball again and then score okay so if you wanted to adapt it so it's more focused on scoring okay so penetrating space to score whereas now we're focusing on penetrating space to keep possession and then score okay so you can adapt it from going setting them onto passes keeping the ball switching play to then go into trying to score as many goals so penetrating space and that's where you could have four different teams winning team can stay on teams can just rotate so if you look at it here we've got set up so we've got two reds one airs we've got a three v2 overload in here and a two and a two v one overload in here so we're trying to create overloads with the floater so you don't need all three players in one area so the ball can come in can we play out okay this player then made that movement in there it comes in centrally we play into here okay set into there and we play there so we're focusing on movement okay it's fluid we're moving the ball quickly so play is obviously free to move anywhere but we don't want all these players following the ball okay can we create space think about the y plays that you've got okay so when you're trying to receive the ball and angles are per se okay we can bounce it out planes are there okay now we've got the ball out of pressure now we can think of moving so these might have two players in here we've got three so think about our movement when the ball comes into here can this players move out cancel one follow penetrate the space plane through open out play in then we can get across and support it again so focus on movements not just to receive the ball but to create space for our teammates as well to then create space to play through and then penetrate that space again so can we receive on the back foot can we play first time can we use those floaters on the outside to then give us a bit of time to move as well so we're playing a lot of pressure to get set and receive the ball again we want to move into our final animation before concluding this week's session thanks for watching this week's video don't forget to head over to our website where you can stand to view all of our exclusive content and we'll see you next week for another session sundaywelcome to session sunday hi guys it's jack edwards and in today's video we're going to be focusing on practice and penetrating space but before we get into this week's video make sure to leave us a like and subscribe

there and it gets played back in now the floaters on the outside okay have to play back into the middle when they receive it to any player but they have to play back into the middle so the players on the outside okay after a few minutes can swap over so if you keep these three players this player can swap over here and then after a few minutes this play can swap over here and so on now the team is in possession okay every time they switch the play okay so they switch it from one box to another okay they can score a point or you could do every five passes that they get can be a point every ten

just be they've got to work the ball into the other half to then score get the ball again and then score okay so if you wanted to adapt it so it's more focused on scoring okay so penetrating space to score whereas now we're focusing on penetrating space to keep possession and then score okay so you can adapt it from going setting them onto passes keeping the ball switching play to then go into trying to score as many goals so penetrating space and that's where you could have four different teams winning team can stay on teams can just rotate so if you look at it here we've got set up so we've got two reds one airs we've got a three v2 overload in here and a two and a two v one overload in here so we're trying to create overloads with the floater so you don't need all three players in one area so the ball can come in can we play out okay this player then made that movement in there it comes in centrally we play into here okay set into there and we play there so we're focusing on movement okay it's fluid we're moving the ball quickly so play is obviously free to move anywhere but we don't want all these players following the ball okay can we create space think about the y plays that you've got okay so when you're trying to receive the ball and angles are per se okay we can bounce it out planes are there okay now we've got the ball out of pressure now we can think of moving so these might have two players in here we've got three so think about our movement when the ball comes into here can this players move out cancel one follow penetrate the space plane through open out play in then we can get across and support it again so focus on movements not just to receive the ball but to create space for our teammates as well to then create space to play through and then penetrate that space again so can we receive on the back foot can we play first time can we use those floaters on the outside to then give us a bit of time to move as well so we're playing a lot of pressure to get set and receive the ball again we want to move into our final animation before concluding this week's session thanks for watching this week's video don't forget to head over to our
