Community | Defend the Triangle

Gary Key Coach, England

DESCRIPTION

There should be 2 more attackers than defenders. Attackers start with the ball. They try to pass through the triangle to a team-mate for 1 pt. Defenders get 1pt for stealing and keeping possession for [5] passes. Then reset. Switch defenders every [5] mins. Variations: Give the attackers [3] chances (balls) to score, then switch defenders. Defenders get 1pt for stealing + carrying the ball outside of the playing zone. Turn&burn: assign 2 attacking jokers (wearing a different colour bib) who only ever attack. If the defenders can steal + carry the ball outside the playing zone, they and the jokers attack the triangle, and the other players become the defenders. With GK: GK defends outside the triangle (to practice closing down+footwork) GK 'keeps goal' inside the triangle (to practice blocks/kicks)
