Playing .. |
-
Split players into 2 even teams
... give each team a name...and set up 2 small, coned goals and 1
cone 10-12 yards away from the goal.
-
Set up a line of cones 5-10 yards
to the side of each goal (the older the players, the further the
distance)
- Line up teams next to a goal, each
player with a ball and each team positions a player outside the line
of cones.
-
When the coach blows the whistle,
the first player from each line dribbles to and around their cone
and then passes the ball to his/her teammate who then returns the
pass to his/her teammate for a shot on goal.
-
The first player to shoot the ball
into the net gets a point for his/her team.
-
Play until one of the players
scores a goal, so if both players miss the net, they chase down
their ball and try to kick the ball into the net first. (Players
should not give up until a goal is scored.)
- Weak passes from the dribbling
player must be dribbled by his/her sideline teammate behind the line
of cones and then passed to his/her teammate for an easy shot on
goal. (Passes must be made behind the line of cones to penalize weak
passes from the dribbling player).
|
| Coaching
Points |
-
Players should dribble at speed
toward the cone keeping close control of the ball.
-
Return pass should be targeted in
front of oncoming teammates for an easy shot on goal.
-
Oncoming players should quickly
shoot after receiving the return pass.
-
Coaches must keep the lines moving
so after a players has scored, blow the whistle to start the next 2
players.
-
If there are a lot of players,
split them into 3 groups.
- Encourage cheering for teammates.
|
| Competition,
Variations & Restrictions: |
-
Play games to 7, losing team does
5 jumping jacks.
-
Move the line of cones further
away from the goal as the players become better passers.
- Restrict the side players to one
touch soccer.
