Set Up:
-
Set up the game as shown with all the balls with the line behind the goal.
-
The game starts with a pass from the first person in the defending line to the first person in the attacking line.
-
The attacker tries to score on the small goal. If defender wins the ball, they try to dribble over attacker’s endline for a point.
-
If the ball goes out of bounds or a goal is scored, the game is over and next two players start. Players switch lines after each turn.
-
As soon as ball goes out, the next two have to be ready to play. Get game moving fast.
Coaching Points:
-
The pressuring defender needs to approach with speed, but then slow down as they get closer so attacker isn’t able to run by them.
-
Try to make play predictable by forcing the defender one way or the other.
-
Don’t dive in. An attacker will eventually make a mistake, so just keep in between him and the goal. Wait for the attacker to take a bad touch.
