A field is marked out with cones. A goal is set up on each end of the field, with a goalkeeper in each. 6 field players are divided into two groups of 3 and positioned next to the goals as shown in the diagram. A cone is placed on each sideline to mark the halfway line.
Procedure
The blue player starts with a diagonal pass to the red player and sprints directly toward him. The red player receives the ball and dribbles toward the goal. 2-4 metres before the red attacker, the blue player slows down, positions himself offset to the side of the attacker, and offers him the side away from the goal. The attacker tries to beat the blue player and get a shot on goal. The blue player tries to win possession and attack the opposite goal. If the ball goes out of bounds, the next pair of players starts. Now the red player passes to the blue player. Alternative: If the goalkeeper saves the ball without holding it, he can immediately launch a quick counterattack.
Tip
- Players should move on the balls of their feet. - The attacking player starts with the passer's backswing. - The attacker tries to use his sprint speed advantage. - The defender tries to close down the attacker as early as possible so that the attacker cannot build up speed, and if possible positions his body between himself and the attacker with the shoulder forward. - 6 cones, 2 full-size goal(s)
