Two teams of equal numbers. Coach calls out a number and
that number of players go out into the field. The remaining players stay
on the goal line, hold hands, and try to prevent goals. After a goal, or a
period of play, coach calls out another number..
Coaching Points:
Call out different numbers,
so players learn to interact with different subsets..
Give advantages to certain
teams so players can learn to deal with numbers of up and down
situations (for example, red team 3 players, blue team 4 players).
After players understand the
game, have them switch quickly. it is important that players control who
comes out and how. This helps develop organizational skills and team
dynamics.
Try These Variations:
Three touch: each player can
use up to three touches.
Double points if scored off a
headed ball.
Double points if scored off
combination (i.e.. give and go, take over, etc.).
Setup: Only one player from
each team is allowed to score.
