Set Up:
-
Two lines of players start at one end of a 20 x 20 yard grid with several 3 yard triangular shaped Battle Stars spread out on the inside. The coach starts with all the soccer balls and places himself between the two teams. When the coach puts a ball in play, one player from each team tries to win it and stop it in any of the Stars. When two balls are stopped in any Star by the same team, that destroys that star (pick up the cones of that star and give to coach). The team that destroys the most stars wins.
Coaching Points:
-
Big touches vs. little touches.
-
Look to turn if there is space behind you.
-
Encourage using both feet and the different surfaces of each foot.
Players Required:
6-8
two teams - ball in play - team must work together to get a ball stopped in one of the triangles. team who wins most triangles wins.
