Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): Boundry Game

Screen 1

What: this activity places a small goal on each boundry of the training space. Two teams attack two goals and defend two goals ( e.g.: Orange attacks A&B and defends C&D.) The goals can be placed in the middle of the boundries or moved closer together to make the goals easier to defend.

Gks can be used with larger goals.

This is a Stage 2 activity.

Why: this activity addresses changing the point of attack and pressing on defense. Further, it also stresses quick transitions.

Where: middle third of the field.

Who: any two lines both attacking and defending.

When: attacking, defending, and transition.
