Dealing with the Long Ball

Ball starts from the keeper of the red team. They will play it to either of the players in the first zone. That player will take a touch out of their feet and play a long diagonal ball to the opposite striker. Those 2 players will compete for the ball, the red players trying to win the ball and score, the blue players trying to clear the ball and start a counter attack. Any loose ball that goes into the middle zone, it will be 2v2, each team trying to get it out of that zone and start the attack.

Coaching Points:

- Overhit the ball

- When you get the chance, find the top players to get the ball forward

- Battle for every ball
