The Game

2 even teams. Each team defends their 3 goals, and tries to score in the opponents 3 goals. The team with most goals wins.

Coaching Points

Attack:

Vision, recognizing where pressure is coming from.

Possession / penetration decisions.

Switching the point of attack.

Defence:

Pressure , cover, balance.

Defending zonally since the 3 goals force a team to defend 'numbers down'.

Immediate counter attack when ball is won.

Try These Variations

• Dribble through the goals instead of passing. (Make goals 10 yds.wide)

• Goals must come off a 'one touch'

• Limit attackers to '2 touches'
