A field is marked out with cones. A goal is set up on each end of the field, with a goalkeeper in each. 10 field players are divided into two groups and positioned next to the goals as shown in the diagram. A cone is placed on each sideline to mark the halfway line, where the passer stands with the balls.
Procedure
The passer starts by playing a pass into the centre of the field, and one red and one blue player sprint directly to the ball. The faster player receives the ball and dribbles toward the goal. The slower player slows down in front of the attacker, positions himself offset to the side of the attacker, and offers him the side away from the goal. The attacker tries to beat the defender and get a shot on goal. The defender tries to win possession and attack the opposite goal. If the ball goes out of bounds, the next pair of players starts. 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. - Both players start with the passer's backswing. - The faster player 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)
