I've got a team of year 5 and 6s getting together and i want to know what a good drill to use to see who is going to be defenders and attackers
Hi Jack,
I think at that age you can manipulate any skill that is on offer to every position e.g. someone offering a big hit could play at the back to help move the ball forward quickly or play as a forward to smash the ball past the keeper.
I think a handy drill could be a gauntlet exercise (see below). Maybe start this as a 2 vs 1, and then progress to 1 vs 1. Players that can move the ball more naturally around a defender may be more attacking inclined, while players confident in making a challenge and showing strong footwork may be more defensive.
Let me know your thoughts on the above,
Josh
Thanks Josh
That drill/s looks very good i will use that drill in our next practice
Thanks jack
