Penalty Box Game

Separate into 3 teams of no more than 4. If more than 12 players take some away to do some individual work (see next screen) 

Play 3v3 in the penalty box with 1 server from each team beside the goal.

One team start as the attackers, one as the defenders

Coach calls out a number between 1 and 4. The chosen number plays a ball into the strikers who can a) turn and shoot, b) set and spin, c) play to any other player. Encourage the defenders to get tight. 

If the ball is played back out to the servers they can shoot and defenders can attempt to block. If the defenders can win the ball and score into the mini goals they swap roles.

When a goal is scored, if there is an attacker in the shaded area his serving teammate plays a ball quickly into any striker in the area to score quickly for bonus points to teach instinct and staying alert. 

Play for 4 minutes and rotate teams. Keep the score throughout.
