Description

 

 

 

Using multiple goals allows for players to keep their heads up and find other scoring options. Players can dribble to penetrate to goal or recognize when to change direction. Players will have lots of opportunities to constantly make decisions of when to dribble, pass, or change their point of attack.

Categories (10 mins)

Organization:

  • 8x8 square in the center of a large circle of players. Players are split in half so that half start in the middle square and the others are around the circle with a ball.

Instructions:

The coach calls out a category at the start of each round. Players who start in the center square must check to an outside player and call out a name from the category the coach has chosen. For example the coach may say “Fruits”. The center players must then run to the outside player and say the name of a fruit before the outside player will pass them the ball. The center players will receive the ball and play it back to the outside person. Center players must then run back through the square before checking to another outside player.

  • Outside players pass with their hands to check players.
  • Receiver should look over their shoulder before receiving the ball
Coaching Points:
  • Main coaching objectives – decision making of when to dribble to penetrate; vision to see scoring options.
  • Coaching tips – play more than one ball in to get more players involve.
  • Adaptations - add neutral players on the field to create an attacking advantage in you don't have enough for three teams. 
  • Dribbling basics, Turning basics, Feints and dribble, Beating an opponent, Passing over a short distance, Receiving the ball with the feet.

  • Adaptations – players can be split into thirds with one third in the middle and two thirds on the outsides
