Screen 1

Set up practice as shown; at least 1 attacking player overload in each D

This example is 3v2; If goal is scored or ball goes out of play then new ball is rolled into opposite D to restart game. If defenders gain ball they must pass through the game area to team mates in opposite D.

• Defender can carry ball into opposition area.

• Additional points for goals created by deflections.

• Points for Gk's for saves and finding our team players in opposition area.

• If too many players, create 3 teams and third team can be on outside of pitch to provide support for team in possession. 

• 1 point for a goal
• 2 points for deflected goal
• 1 for a Gk save
• 2 points if Gk finds own player in opposite area.
