Organization:
25'X25' area.
Equipment needed:
4 pop up goals, soccer balls, pinnies, cones 2 colors 5 of each.
Cones to mark the area.
Explanation:
Place 2 cones of the same color to mark the goals as shown above.
Coach has each color cone in their hands.
Teams play a SSG.
When the coach holds up a cone, the team in possession can score on the goal marked as that color.
If there is no cone held up, the team must maintain possession until coach shows a cone.
If the ball goes out of play, coach will play a new ball in.
If a goal is scored the team that scores maintains possession, the coach will play a ball in to them & SSG starts again.
Coaching points:
Encourage players to help one another by communicating the color that's shown & when it changes.
Help players to realize that they can score on either goal when the color is shown.
If a goal is taken away, try the other one.
Encourage players to spread out & use the whole space.
