1v1 4 Goal Game. Roughly 24x18 with goals a couple steps in from sideline. 8 or less players = 1 grid / 9 or more = 2 grids. Attacker and defender must touch center cone before pass can come in (encourage movement away from cone once you touch it). Progress to team competition for most goals in a certain time limit.
.
Coaching Points:
- Movement to create space to receive (check to, start behind, run across, spin behind, double movements)
- Protect the ball to be able to to turn with the ball
- HHH - Hands, Hips, Hide (Hands = feel to def/maintain distance / Hips = sideways on to increase distance / Hide = keep body between ball and defender to hide the ball)
- Change of Speed / Change of Direction
- Scan - Can I score?

Same set up - make the space bigger if needed. Now once the passer plays the ball they join the game as well as the defender waiting in line.
.
Coaching Points:
- Reinforce previous points with central players
- Movement of support player - when to provide supporting angle vs. when to get forward
- Movement off of each other to threaten both goals and create overloads
- Attacking mentality - take risks, look to get forward

3v3 in the middle (GK + 2 field players) + 4 players on the outside. Attacking team has 5v3 overload in possession. Field is octagon shape (roughly 25x20) to encourage more shooting. Outside players can shoot 1st time - if outside player takes a touch then they must pass (encourage rebounds). Rotate outside players every 3-4 minutes / Rotate GK's during game. If ball goes out coach plays new ball in. Compete first to certain score or time limit.
.
Coaching Points:
- Attack mindset - get forward, look to score
- Be creative/take risks/try skills
- Scan / Head up - be aware of surroundings
