Main Activity (30 mins)
Organization:
1- Three zones.
2- One team at one endline with one player in each zone.
3- Other team at opposite endline with one player in each zone.
4- Soccer balls start with team in possession (white).
5- Thirty by thirty area (10 by 10 yard boxes inside area).
Instructions:
1- Red starts as attacking team, black starts defending.
2- Red1 dribbles ball into channel, Black1, 2 and 3 come out to defend.
3- Red player can dribble into any channel.
4- Black players are restricted to their channels.
5- 1 point if Red can dribble across halfline.
6- 1 additional point if Red can stop ball on opposite endline.
7- If any black defender wins it, they can get a point by dribbling to their opposite endline.
*Note: Once possession changes e.g. if Black1 wins the ball, Black2 and 3 would retreat off the field to their endlines and Red2 and 3 would come out to defend if Black1 dribbles into their channels. Red1 would have to recover to keep Black1 from scoring in their channel. Play for time then allow Black to start as attackers. Make sure extra players rotate in/out any time a player gets to the endline or the ball goes out of play.
Coaching Points:
1- Drive at defender with speed.
2- Commit defender to center to maintain 2 options to attack.
3- Weight of touch (Bigger touch to entice defender to commit vs smaller touch to maintain close control).
4- When faced with pressure infront of you, look to execute moves such as; scissors or feint.
5- Cut back across defender once you've beat them to prevent recovery and keep ball from going into other channels/defenders.
Regressions:
1- Both attackers and defenders have a ball. Defender can only stop attacker by hittng the attacker's ball with their own ball. If Black1 hits Red1's ball, Black1 gets to restart with the ball and red is defending.
