Procedure
Two defenders position themselves just before the 16-meter box. The three yellow players start with the ball from the halfway line. As soon as the first player crosses the marking line, two more defenders join from behind to help the other two in regaining possession of the ball. The offensive players try to score as quickly as possible. The defensive players try to counter-attack to the other goal after successfully regaining the ball.
Variation: Allow the other 2 defenders to wait longer before they can intervene in the game. For example, count down from 3 until the two players are allowed to leave their starting position.
Tip
Coaching Points:
- Attackers must spread out the game.
- Quickly engage in the 1v1 to reach the goal promptly.
- Defenders defend the space until a numerical advantage is created for them in the 4v3 situation.
