Pattern 1 to the left
Player receives with back to goal. On the turn, dribbles forward to shoot at goal. As soon as the player shoots must sprint back to the cone.
Pattern 2 to the right.
Player receives with back to goal, plays a give and go, making a curve run to shoot on goal. One shoots attacker must sprint back to cone then re join line.

Make it a competition with a time restriction or first team to 10.
Apply a distance to shoot before.
Coaching Points
- Ensure the movement prior to receiving the ball is there.

Players split into 2 teams.
Objective for attacking player to dribble into end zone and finish on small goal. Once attacking player has shot, they must transition to defend.
If the defender manages to win the ball they must try to dribble or pass through the gate.
1 point for every goal you score, 3 points if you win the ball and counter.
Progression
Players can now attack either Goal. 1 point for straight, 2 points for diagonal.
Coaching Points
- Show me how you can deny the attacker space
- Show me how you should approach the player on the ball, what are you wanting to defend?
- If you can't get to the player, how can you slow the attacker down?

20 mins
Players split into 2 teams.
Objective for the team in possesion is to score in the opponents goal. As soon as the ball has gone out of bounds there is a transitional moment. If the ball goes out of bound anywhere in the red half of the field, the two current red players leave the field and two new red players will start the attack. Same situation if the ball goes out in the Blue half. 1 point per goal.
Progressions
Players can start the transition from either starting cone so the play is harder to defend against.
If a player who is transitioning to defense, manages to win the ball and score within 10 seconds gets 3 points now.
Coaching Points
- Show me how quickly you can react to defending.
- Why does it matter how quickly you can press the opponent with the ball.
- Which player should press the ball? Why?
- What should the second defender do?
