Set Up:
During play, the attacking team (in black in the diagram) can one point by knocking the balls off of the cones with the ball. When they do, a player on the defending team (Player 1 in red) must set the ball back up on the cone. The attacking team can pass the ball to either goalkeeper inside of their small zones to maintain possession, and the GKs can use throws to distribute the ball. Games are played to five points, and the teams switch roles after each game.
Coaching Points:
1. Speed of Play – Get the ball off of your foot and play one and two touch soccer.
2. Decision Making – Look for passes against the flow of play. Reverse direction on the defense.
3. Concentration – Stay involved in the play as the ball moves away from you. Don’t switch off.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Add another goal and goalkeeper on the inside of the field.
