CORE SKILLS –Striking the Ball, First Touch
Grid Size:
• 2 x (30m x 20m)*
*Guide only, adjust accordingly.
Players:
• 12
Explanation:
• Divide players into two teams. Blues in the blue half and Reds in the red half, plus a GK in each goal.
• The Coach begins the game by playing the ball to one of the teams (Blue).
• The Blues are looking to maintain possession, while two of the Reds enter their grid and try to win the ball back [Pic.1].
•If the Blues manage to get 6 passes, they are then allowed to shoot towards the goal at their end [Pic.2] .
• If the Reds win possession, they are looking to switch the ball out to their teammates in the opposite grid.
• If successful, the game transitions with the defending Reds returning to their grid and two Blues becoming defenders [Pic.3].
• The game then continues with the five Reds against two Blues.
• If a team scores they remain where they are and a new ball will be played in. If they don’t score, the opposite team will receive the ball.
• Keep score and rotate the Goalkeepers regularly.
More Advanced:
• Add a third defender.
• Make the area smaller.
Less Advanced:
• Defend with one player.
• Need less passes before shooting.
Other possibilities:
• Have no Goalkeepers, and players shoot into a smaller goal.
• Instead of one large goal, have multiple small goals at the ends.
