Win 4 Balls

SETUP

2 squares, mini goals

PRACTICE

4 attacking players all have a ball and dribble and protect the ball.

The aim of the defender is to run in, win the balls and pass them into the the goals

When the attackers ball is kicked into a goal they now help their teammates to keep possession of the balls. This will see variations of 4 players with 4 balls, to 4 players with 1 ball in a keep away / space and move situation.

COACHING POINTS

Attackers

  • Skill and Dribbling
  • Passing lines and Passing
  • Speen of movement
  • Teamwork
Defender
