Chaser
 Shooting / Finishing Game
Soccer Drill: Chaser
 
 Playing ..
  • Group players in pairs next to a cone which is placed approximately 20 - 25 yards from goal.
  • Pairs are positioned as shown in animation to the right.
  • The first player in line has a soccer ball at his/her feet.
  • The second player in line is approximately one yard behind his/her partner.
  • All players face the goal.
  • The player with the ball at his/her feet starts out as an attacker. (red player)
  • The blue players start the competition out as the chasing defender.
  • Each 2 player's group is assigned a number.
  • To start the competition, the coach shouts out a group number and once a group's number is shouted, the 2 players in the group become active ... the red player (attacker) immediately begins dribbling the ball towards the goal and attempts to get a shot on goal. The blue player (defender) attempts to steal the ball or block the shot of the attacker.
  • If the defender steals the ball from the attacker, the defender becomes the attacker and attempts to shoot on goal. The player that lost the ball then becomes the defender.
  • After a player has gotten a shot on goal, the coach shouts another group number. Keep players moving/active ... one group after another.
  • After a group has gone, players must walk around the field of play to get back to their designated starting point/cone.
 Coaching Points
  • Attack the goal at speed and get off a quick shot.
  • Dribble in the oncoming path of the defender ... using your body as a shield to deny the defender access to the ball.
  • NO SLIDE TACKLES FROM BEHIND!
 Competition, Variations& Restrictions:
  • Change the pairs starting points from 20 - 25 yards to a longer distances.
  • Lengthen the one yard starting distance between the attacker and defender.
