Scoring: 1) Players get one point if they score on goal, 2) if they switch the ball from one end to the other.

Things to Teach:

Throw-ins and when ball is in hand.

Coaching points:

Offensive team needs to have their forwards wide in their own half and they can start coming in the offensive half.

Important we teach them our number system and formation. We play a GK-2-1-2. With two defenders, one CM and two forwards.

Make sure you give them set positions.

Let's create 3 channels to naturally give them width.

2-10/15 minute halves.
