Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): 6-Goal Game

Changing the Point of Attack

What: 6-Goal Game. Attack three goals while defending three goals.

In any game with multiple goals the small goals should be wide enough to prevent the defenders from standing in the goals to defend. The idea is to incentivize the defenders to step to the ball to defend.

This is a Stage 2 activity.

Why: this activity addresses both changing the point of attack and zonal defending.

Where: changing the point of attack- middle third of the field. Zonal defending - defefnsive third of the field.

Who: when addressing changing the point of attack the #s 6, 8, 10, 7, 11, and 9.

When addrressing zonal defending the #1 (playing behing the three goals. See screen 3), #s 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8.

When: Attacking, Defending, and Transition phases.

Periodization:

Players - Work Interval - Recovery - Reps

5 to 7 --   3 to 6 min --     2 to 3 min - 1 to 6

General "Rule of Thumb," when the speed of play in an activity drops, it is time for recovery.

The fewest number of players determines the duration of an activity.

Space will effect player actions, which will affect the speed of play.
