⢠Teams of 4 ⢠Normal game ⢠Starting behind the goals dribble past zonal markers before you can play the ball and attack ⢠Progress to beating a man you get an extra goal ⢠Same player doesnât have to score as you can pass to someone else to score ⢠Once goal is scored both teams changeover but the same side starts with next 4 players ⢠The game is to be played at high tempo and if the other team is not ready that is their fault ⢠This will encourage players to concentrate, communicate, get out quick, react, win the ball back and want to beat players and score. It also encourages players to be confident on the ball
⢠Work as a team ⢠Communicate with each other ⢠Beat a player and score as quickly as possible ⢠Remember the skills â repeat coaching points for different skills ⢠Demonstrate ⢠Pick out players who are doing it well ⢠Praise ⢠Stoppages and corrections ⢠Demand more and push participants to improve ⢠Award points for best skills, team play and goals ⢠Why is this relevant to the game?
