WABA Games are fun small sided games developed to isolate & practice a full variety of technical & tactical skills. They build opposed skills mastery, confidence & comfort on ball plus crazy creativity.  These throughputs help athletes stand out for college, national team & pro identification. Here are a few of the 36 WABA games rotated in the weekly leagues. The following 9 games are the most popular game rotation for a WABA Games League session.

 

Mano e Mano™ 

A direct attack to goal game played 1v1, 2v2 or 3v3. With quick passes & finishes in tight spaces players hone their skills needed in their attacking 3rd. Transitions are quick & intense as these games usually play for 90 seconds before players need rest & recovery.

​

Inside Out™ 

This 2v2 or 3v3 inverted goal attacking game was designed to help strikers & midfielders play with their back to goal. Checking shoulders, turning & passing or shooting, finding angles & one touch finishing are key development points to this fast paced, fun filled game. Creativity abounds with Cruyff's, back heel passes, rakes & aerial magic. With quick passes in tight spaces players hone their skills needed in their attacking 3rd.

​

Over & Back™ 

This 1v5 or 2v4 under load attacking game is what makes attacking legends. Struggle, a key factor in all WABA Development theories comes to life with extreme defensive pressure. Try to beat 5 players to goal, it's a challenge. Over & Back™ was one factor that  helped WABA's Cole Mrowka garner the talent to sign a pro contact with Columbus Crew at 16 years old. WABA's EPL guest coach Neil Harris, who was Marcus Rashford's youth coach at Man United, believes that a similar 4v10 game skyrocketed Marcus's talents.

​

OB Boxes™ 

This 2v2 possession game is the gold standard for switching the field. Awareness & partner passing make this high scoring 90 second game fast thinking, acting & moving. Controlling the midfield is a key component to many team philosophies & this game molds players for that style of play. Switch direction of play fast & before you know it you are penetrating & scoring.

​

Bucket List™ 

A fun chipping game in the middle of a league session. This challenge give players some rest recovery & a chance to win some great prizes. With top chipping skills you can win smoothies, water bottles, match play soccer balls, jerseys or a $100 Amazon Gift Card. Great fun with amazing prizes.

​

Step™ 

This 2v2 finishing game has two main purposes, while in the 18 yard box. On the attack players need to learn how to create half a yard of space & quickly rip a shot. Defensively players need to prevent shots by properly closing down space & stepping. 30-60 shots are often taking in this 90 second intense finishing game.

​

Meg-R-Goal™ 

If you travel anywhere throughout Europe you will see a game called "Panna" being played by young & old alike. Translated, the name means nutmeg, passing a ball between the opponents legs. We have taken this old favorite game & enhanced it. The idea of the game is to see if you can manipulate & fool a defender to get them to step to expose & open their legs. We added the condition to promote a quick touch to shoot around them into a mini goal. Meg-R-Goal, a perfect compliment to deceptive attacking skills locker & being a defensive escape artist.

​

High-V™ 

This aerial control game is for the advanced player who wants perfect control of goal kicks, corners, crosses or headers. This game is a 1, 2 or 3 touch, no bounce aerial wall game. Played mostly as a 1v1v1v1 game, players try not to get knocked out by controlling high aggressive aerial balls & returning them off a wall with precision. WABA has a dozen different aerial games that focus on improving aerial first touch, volleys, thighs, juggling & headers.

​

Blaster™ 

This "every person for themself" is a power shooting & gentle first touch game. When in club practice. does a coach say "blast the ball at your teammate to see if they can handle it?" Not to often. This is the main premise of Blaster™. The concept of a soft first touch from a crazy hot ball was developed into this fun & competitive knock out game. WABA has a bunch of first touch games & training sessions to produce the first touch of a pro.​
