the triangle goal shooting game

What follows is one of my favourite soccer drills. Just by playing games like this, and keeping score so that the games are competitive, players will improve.

my thanks to Jeff Pill for this drill

The Game

Set up a triangular goal in the middle of a 50 x 50 grid.

Play an even sided game with both teams having their own keeper.

Both teams try to score through any one of the three sides of the triangular goal.

It is best to place the goal in the centre of a 20 yard in diameter circle, with only the keepers allowed inside the circle.

If the keeper catches the ball, his or her team must take the ball outside of the grid before they may attack again.

Play with 2 balls for real excitement.

Goalkeepers may become attacking players when their team has possession.

Coaching Points

Attacking and defending principles of play.

Shooting

Finishing

Possession

Goalkeeper positioning, shot saving and distribution.
