Blue players must dribble up the pitch and around the cone before then turning sharply. Once they have turned they must then take on the defender with a feint or a dummy before finally throwing a shot at the goal.

Blue players try to score a goal in cooperation with pivot white 1. They are only allowed half of the circle.Defenders :- just let it happen- half active- fully match like

Players from both lines run forwards at the same time, with the ball carrier crossing over in front of the other player. When the players cross over they should switch the ball between them as at this point they are blocking the goal keeper's view. Once the other player has the ball they should shoot on goal before then collecting their ball and joining the back of the queue.

Players take it in turns to dribble out to their cone and then shoot at goal. They must shoot in such a way that it is possible for the keeper to block the ball.

Form a queue 9 metres from goal and throw at goal from 6-7 metres. Throw balls which can be stopped by the goalkeeper, so make sure your players throw precisely and with not too much force. There is an extra goalkeeper in the goal facing the goal itself. He has the task to prevent balls rolling in between goalkeeper-in- action's legs.

Goalkeepers sit opposite each other, with legs stretched sideways. They will give the ball to each other just over their feet, both stretching down with their upper bodies as wide as possible.

Goalkeeper stands on the goal line. A player throws two balls at the goal, which the goalkeeper tries to stop. He then sprints forward, touches the ball of the blue player, who throws it high over the goalkeeper's head into the goal. When the goalkeeper has touched the ball he jogs back to save the lobbed shot before it crosses the goal line. Once under control of the ball, he throws a fast break pass to one of the players half way up the court.

Simple keeper warm-up plus good for the center's throwing accuracy. Players pass the ball to the keeper who then takes one step and immediately sends the ball up court to the center. The center then catches the ball and passes it back to the player who played the original pass.

Goalkeeper stands on the goal line. He sprints forward, touches the ball of the blue player, who throws it high over the goalkeeper's head into the goal. When the goalkeeper has touched the ball he goes for it and tries to get the ball before it crosses the goal line. Once under control of the ball, he throws a fast break pass to one of the players half way up the court.

Goalkeepers start on one side of the court and move forward to the other side. Players will make short, sideward jumps left and right while they move across the court. Drill should be done twice up and down half of the court.

Two teams, each with goalkeepers, play across a half-court sized pitch. Play with normal rules.

pass 2 - goalkeeper. pass to 1 who dribbles and passes to 2 who tries to score a goal from 9 metres.

The feeder in the center of the court plays the ball left and then right into the paths of the running attackers. The first wide defender goes to meet the ball straight away with the second, central, defender coming to cover and support the other defender after the attacker has crossed the 9m line. The drill ends when the ball is taken by the defender or after the attacker's shot on goal.

The goalkeepers receive the ball from the feeder and throws a ball into the path of the running player who then passes back to the feeder.

Attacking player 1 runs with the ball to the outside of the 9m semi-circle and throws at the goal. The defender must only obstruct the shot, not make a tackle, to put the attacker under pressure. The goalkeeper must then get the ball under control and pass past the obstructing defenders to the breaking defender who has just made the run. The session then continues on the other side of the court.

A1 and A2 pass the ball. At a signal of the trainer they pass the ball to the goalkeeper who rolls the ball into the field to B1 or B2 who sprint for the break, pick up the ball and pass if necessary and try to score a goal.
