  • Can you shoot at goal?
  • Can you find creative ways to beat your defender?
  • Can you protect the ball away from a defender?

Movement

Set Up: 

  • Two teams of 6 players each with a 3 v 3 start.
  • Field size 30 (L) x 40 (W). Short but wide.
  • 4 yellow markers.

Action:

  • To score a goal a player must run with the ball across the opponents goal line.
  • If the red team wins possession, they can now attack the opponents goal line.

Variation/Progressions:

  • The time of sets or size of the area can be adjusted to suit the needs and abilities of the players.

  • Can you create width and still be able to receive a pass?

Key Coaching Points:

  • Spread out and use the width of the area.
  • We must have a central player with a player to the left and right.
  • Run with the ball whenever you see space in front of you.
  • Don't be afraid to take on opponents.
  • When a defender is chasing you use the moves you learned earlier in the technical game.

Session Timing:

  • Complete 6 sets of 3 minutes with a 30-second rest in between sets.
  • Total time of work is 20 minutes.
