See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Objective: activate the players in a competitive environment for the game.
Organization: set-up a 20x20 field with 4 goals. The goals can just be made from cones.
Instructions: coach plays the ball into the grid then calls out a number. Typically 1, 2 or 3. That many players then enter the field and play until a goal is scored or the ball goes out of bounds. The coach can then enter another ball to the same players OR tell them to "get out of there." They must sprint to the back of the line.
Variations: (1) the coach can add players to the game. For example the coach plays the ball into the field and says "2." The game is 2v2. The coach can then say "add one." Now the game is 3v3.
Key Coaching Points:
1. Playing at full speed and competing.
2. Find the open goal.
3. If the game is 3v3 create a triangle.
