Screen 3

Organisation:

Half the group by the net. Half at the middle of half field. 

Place all balls by the net for the "defenders". 

Coach can be in net or at side of net to give feedback and indicate next pair can go. 

10-15min.

Activity:

Players by the net with a ball - one at a time will touch ball out of feet and pass to the striker. Stricker will receive and proceed to dribble to net and attempt to shoot and score. Player that passed ball will affect as a defender (decide if they are a passive defender)

Once the play is done (ball goes out, defender wins ball or striker scores), defender will head to striker line at top of box and striker will collect their ball and head to the defender line. 

Coaching Points:

Assure girls on focused on their goal - striker to remember to use laces to shoot or inside foot to shoot.

Defender to recover ball quickly and stay goal side to striker.
