DESCRIPTION

SETUP

  • Create a grid on top of the penalty box (adjust size for your players ability level).
  • Divide the grid in half with a line parallel to the touch lines.
  • The game starts with each team of 5 players in different sections of the grid and a goalkeeper in the goal.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • When the coach plays the ball into one section of the grid, the opponent may send 3 players to defend in the grid.
  • The possessing team attempts to complete four passes while the defending 3 attempt to win possession and pass the ball to their teammates waiting in the other section of the grid.
  • If the defending team succeeds, they will join their teammates and attempt to complete four passes while their opponent sends 3 defenders.
  • If the possessing team succeeds in completing four passes, they may shoot directly for goal or play a through pass into the penalty box to a teammate.
  • The opponent may not defend the player that was played into the penalty box in the initial exercise.
  • Progress to allowing the defending team to send a player to defend the player in the penalty box, but the defender must come from their own section of the grid (where the two players are).
  • Progress to allowing an extra forward to join the player, creating a 2v1
