Key words: Get/stay compact, pressure, cover and work together.
Guided Questions: 1. Who pressures the ball and why? 2. Why do we move together to defend? 3. How do we defend when going 1v1?
Answers: 1. The defender closest to the ball, to prevent the player on the ball from moving it forward. 2. To stay compact and deny/close any openings. 3. Make play predictable. Show them one direction/ guide them towards sideline or pressure. Delay until help arrives.

Objective: Coach the attackers in (Blue) to improve their ability to create and finish scoring opportunities.
Set up: As shown, play a 0-2-2-3 (blue) vs 1-4-3-0 (red). Blue plays to the goal and red plays to the counter goals.
Instructions: Play a game with regular rules. Start with 10 balls being played only from the blue #6. After the the 10 reps, play from where the ball goes out. Blue scores on goal and red scores on the counter goals.
Key words: Get open, shoot, pass, take on opponents.
Guided Questions: 1.What environment are you trying to develop with this training session? 2. When should players pass to teammates vs shoot? 3. Where can we find space in order to create opportunities to score?
Answers: 1. We are creating a scoring mentality among the players on the team. When a chance at goal is there, the first priority is to be effective with our shooting opportunity. 2. Players should pass to a teammate when their opening to shoot is closed and a teammate has more space or is closer to the goal, with a clear opening to shoot. 3. Behind and in between the defenders. Use misdirection and change of speed to make yourself difficult to mark.
