| Playing .. |
- Split players into 2 even teams ... give each team a name
(see Youth Coach Handbook #3)
- Set up small, coned goals approximately 20 yards apart.
- The coach stands on the sidelines with all the balls at his feet.
- Each team lines up behind a cone on either side of the coach.
- When the coach throws the ball into the center of the field, the first player from each line runs onto the field and plays 1 Vs 1.
- Players defend the goal closest to their line and attack the opposite goal.
- Play until a goal is scored or for 30- 60 seconds depending on the heat and the fitness level of the players.
|
| Coaching Points |
- Attackers - attack defenders at speed, make a quick fake, get by the defender and shoot (no out of bounds within reason)
- Defenders - delay, don't commit and channel the attacker to the side, away from the goal creating a poor shooting angle.
- If the defender steals the ball, he/she becomes the attacker and the attacker becomes the defender and 1 vs 1 play continues.
- Play is continuous and the transition from attacker to defender and from defender to attacker must be instantaneous.
|
| Competition, Variations& Restrictions: |
- Coach starts to call out numbers. If the coach shouts "2" then the first two players in each line run onto the field and play 2 vs 2.
- Coach then starts shouting "3", "4", "5" creating 3 vs 3, 4 vs 4, and 5 vs 5 games respectively.
- Play games to 5 and the losing team does 5 jumping jacks.
