Activity 4 - 4 corners to 4 goals (15 mins)

4 Corners to 4 Goals:

In a grid with cone goals at each end, players of the same team are placed by the corner cones of the goal line they are defending. Half of the team is in a line at one corner and the other half at the other corner. The coach is standing outside the middle with all the balls. The game starts when the coach serves the ball into the field. The game is over when one team scores in any of the two goals they are attacking or the ball goes out of bounds. Players need to get off of the field quickly and get back in line

Coaching Points/Questions:

What are the players without the ball doing to help?

When does the player with the ball shoot?

Player Challenges:

I am able to score in the far goal?

I am striking the ball with the appropriate surface of my foot?
