5v5 Game, with 1v1 Start

Set Up:

The teams play 5v5 on the small field, and play begins with a pass from the Feeder into the small central zone. A player from each team enters the zone as soon as the ball is kicked, and those two players go 1v1, looking to win possession and dribble across the opponent’s end line. When the attacker dribbles out of the zone, the 5v5 begins and goes to completion. When a goal is scored or a ball is put out of play, the game is re-started by the Feeder. Balls played out of the 1v1 in the central zone are also re-started by the Feeder, and each team sends a new player into the next 1v1.

Coaching Points:

1.    Attacking 1v1 – Use feints and make sharp changes of speed and direction.​

2.    Decision Making – Hold your position if you’re unsure about who is going to win the ball.

3.    Speed of Attack – With a defender out of position, attack at speed to commit the next defender.

Progressions/Regressions:

Progression 1 – Allow attackers to pass or dribble out of the central zone after winning the ball.
