Starting Point

Play starts with the Coach playing the ball into either Zone A and two players from the opposite Zone B transition into defending against the four attackers in Zone B.

Play should always start with the coach after a shot on goal or if the defending/attacking loses control of the ball (not possession).

Play

The attacking team must make 5 passes before releasing a pass for any attacker to shoot at goal. No player can defend outside the marked zones.Without a GK players must practice finishing into a particular corner near side or far post as in this example

If the defenders win possession, they must play a pass back into their zone before a pass can release any defending player transitioning into attack. The attackers who lost possession can only prevent the pass inside the opponents zone. Once the pass has been played no player can defend outside either zone.

If using a GK, s/he must stay inside the 6yd box until the penetrating pass is made and then move accordingly.

2 Touch to score.

Bend the shot into the far corner.

Striking the ball

Never miss high or near side

Observe the GK position

Select the surface of the foot/ball

Execute the technique of above selection

Support

Open body to receive the ball...more options...play off the shoulder of the defender

Move the ball, move your feet...a dead ball allows defenders to react faster

Play to onside foot...shield the ball away from defender or pressure

Simple, Quick, Accurate passes...speed of pass critical to move defenders

Weight of pass to be accurate enough to be just in front of the attacker...don't break their stride.
