A2 D2

Attack Two, Defend Two

The Game: Start without balls as a tag game. Players play 1v1 with the red team attacking the blue teams gates. The red team starts the game as the blue team can not move until the red team does, this may need some coach encouragement but the idea is to get players to go as soon as the round before them ends. Can the red team run through the blue teams gates with out getting tagged. After a certain amount of time the blue team will attack the red teams gates. After a few rotations with each team having a few turns at attacking introduce the balls.

Same idea with the balls except the blue player is trying to win the ball rather than tag. If blue wins the ball he/she should immediately try to attack the red gates. If the ball goes out of bounds, the next pair of players should begin the exercise. Attackers must dribble the gates to score (take a touch on other side of the gate). Focus:

•The red attacker should “run at the defender” or dribble out to confront the red defender.

•Feint in a particular direction to force the defender to shift in one direction.

•Accelerate past the defender and dribble through a gate.

•BE CREATIVE!

•Transition quickly on loss of possession.

A2 D2 With Balls

Now the red players have a ball and play the same game as before but now they are trying to dribble thru the gates.

Players must dribble thru gates and not just kick the ball thru the gate. Therefor players must take a touch on the other side of the gate.

Can blue defenders get out to red attackers fast and keep them away from the gates. If blue defender wins the ball then blue player can scorein the red teams goals.
