2v2 (3v3) exercise with an initial sprint

Description

The field is setup in a space of about 20x30m - can be adjusted depending on the age and technical ability of the players. This exercise can be played as a 2v2 (only players 1 and 2) or as a 3v3 (all players shown). 1. The coach (yellow) plays a ball inside the field. 2. As soon as the ball is played, all the players start running. 3. The players have to run around the cones as indicated and only after that they can enter the field and play. 4. The ball is to be won by the fastest players. 5. A second ball is played to the team which scores the first goal (or if the ball goes out, to the team in possession).
