7v7 Keep-Away with Bonus Lines

Possession with territorial purpose — switching and progressing through marked corridors under full pressure.

Half pitch with two vertical lines splitting it into thirds. 7v7 (or 6v6) keep-away.

1. Normal keep-away scoring: 8 consecutive passes = 1 point.
2. Bonus: a completed pass that crosses BOTH lines (a full switch) scores 2 points instantly.
3. A pass that crosses one line into the middle and is then played forward again scores 1 bonus.
4. Play to 10; losers set up the next game.

• Possession earns the switch — draw the press to one side before releasing it.
• The far-side player stays wide and alive: their positioning IS the bonus.
• Switches need a receiving picture: who's beyond the far line before the pass leaves?
• Counting passes keeps tempo; chasing bonuses creates direction.

• Teams chase only pass count and ignore the corridors — re-state the scores: switches win games.
• The switch is attempted from a crowded touchline — work it inside first, then release.
• Far-side players drift inside and kill the space the bonus needs — width is a discipline.

• Bonus passes must be below head height.
• Add two neutrals to make switches easier, then remove them.
• Limit the middle third to two touches.

• 6 passes per point.
• One bonus line only.
• Bigger pitch for more time on the ball.

• The far receiver must control the switch cleanly for the bonus to count.
