1v1 to 2 Goals - Golden Goal Defense
Set Up: 2 bazookas. Dots. Balls. 2 Volcano Cones. Use both halves of the court, split players, 1 coach on each side.
How To
- Create 2 lines. Attacking line is in between the 2 cones, defending line is in between the 2 Goals.
- First defender begins by passing the ball out to first attacker, positioned in between the 2 cones. First attacker must receive with sole before attacking either bazooka goal.
** As the defender passes the ball, they must point either right or left, labeling that goal as the "Golden Goal"
That goal is now worth 2 points if the attacker scores on it, while the other goal is only worth one. This should then force the defender to defend with the angle in mind. They should cut off the angle of the golden goal to not give up points. Force the attacker to the other goal and hope to win a tackle.
- Attacker must take 3 touches mandatory before they can shoot.
- If defender wins the ball, they may dribble through the gate on either side under control for 3 points!
- Set up teams is they are competing! time limit of 2 minutes per round of attack and defending, create a round robin tournament.
Objectives:
- Cutting angles
- defensive honor
- forcing out
- triangle of perception
- ball control
- 1v1 skills
- Attacking the space
- Passing introduction
