Futsal Skills Section - Crossing the river     

Organisation


• The playing court
• One ball per player

 

Performance


Beginning:
All of the players except for two position themselves along the goal line, with a ball. Two players position themselves on the halfway line (they are the “river’).

 

Variations  


Change the dribbling leg or type of feint, establish a time in which the court must be crossed.

Development:
• On the coach’s signal, the advancing players head out with the ball controlled
• The “river” players move along the halfway line, and must try to take the ball
by tackling the advancing players
• The advancing players have to cross the “river” with feints or dribbles, and reach
the opposite goal line
• The first two players who lose the ball will be the “river’ in the next turn
