Screen 1

Overview for today:

We're going to work on offensive and defensive creativity
How to choose what do to on the field, to respond to what we see and control the ball

Other things to note:

Which girls are which footed? Is anyone left-footed?
Try to keep no more than two girls on the ball at once. No SPIDERS!
never turn your back on the ball when the other team has it. Run backwards when the other team is prepping a goal kick.
goal kicks need to move fast. Less think more kick!

Attack/Defense Exercises

Equipment:

one ball

IN GENERAL

Scoring: Offense gets a point if they score a goal. Defense gets a point if they dribble over the half line.
Offense gets a coaching prompt for an idea to try. Defense gets no prompt. Run the exercise 1 or 2x.
Talk it over. What does defense see? What was offense doing? What defensive strategies can be employed? How can offense respond to it?
Run it a few more times.

STARTING ARRANGEMENT: Strikers v. Defense/GK
