Double Dutch
This simple drill has a LOT to offer. Use the small field to focus on the things your team needs.
This Drill Highlights:
Transition
Small Games
Offensive and Defensive Plays
Description:
This drill is a settled play at each end of the field. One end has a 7v7 while the other end is a 5v5. The field is set up with one restraining box facing another restraining box. The restraining line serves as a line that cannot be crossed. Red defense is passing the ball up to red offense, and blue does the same thing in the opposite direction.
Equipment:
Two goals and cones to create the restraining line if necessary.
Highlighted Skills:
This drill helps focus on different connections with different players, game like situations, time to work on plays and defensive sets, and fast breaks.
Key Coaching Points:
This is a great drill to do at the end of practice instead of your basic 7v7; it gets more people involved and creates more game-like situations.
Make sure you run different offensive and defensive sets at both cages, highlight the different points of the game that need attention, focus on smaller points: double teams, transitioning, winning the small games (ground balls, doubles, etc).
