Keep the energy up and focus on the details with this small group, fast paced drill.
This Drill Highlights:
Quick Ball Movement
Sliding and Doubling
Team Communication
Description:
To start, set up a 10x10 yard box in front of the goal. Divide the team into two groups. Have a feeder standing just outside the 12m, ready to pass balls in. In this drill, there will be three defenders and two attackers.
This is a simple offense versus defense game (2v3). If the offense scores a goal, they get another ball to play. If the offense misses the cage, misses a pass, turns the ball over, the goalie saves it, or defense gets a knockdown, offense gets another chance. After two mistakes (or 2 chances), a new group of attackers replace them and the game continues.
Equipment:
Cones, Balls
Highlighted Skills:
Offensively: Quick ball movement, fast decision making, creating opportunities and space, read the defenders
Defensively: Communication, sliding, doubling, take something away, force attackers
Key Coaching Points:
Let the teams figure it out and work together. This is not a one-man game. This is a team game and requires teamwork and communication. Keep this drill moving fast.
