Screen 6

GAME TIME!! (20 mins)

Use this time to scrimmage either another team or play a small sided game sideways on your field if there are odd numbers

Equipment:

- 5 vs 5 on Micro fields with goalies OR 3 vs 3 small sided with no goalies.

Key Coaching Points:

- Remind them to dribble and work on moves

- Coaches remember that young players don't normally mentally comprehend the aspect of a team. Work to their strengths.

- Do you BEST to let them keep playing. If the ball goes out of bounds kick it back in or yell "keep playing". 99% of the kids don't even realize it is out of bounds. They are there to play - LET THEM!!
