  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players

Setup

Pitch: A row of cones marks off the playing area towards the centre of the pitch. On the halfway line, 4 poles form two pole goals next to each other. At the opposite end there is a goal with a goalkeeper.

Equipment: 1 goal, 4 poles, cones and several balls.

Players: Three attackers and two defenders in different bib colours, plus a goalkeeper.

Procedure

  • The goalkeeper starts the move with a pass to the blue full-back.
  • The yellow wide forward forces the full-back inside; from that moment the game is free.
  • After winning the ball, Yellow tries to score a goal.
  • Blue tries to dribble or shoot through one of the two cone goals.

Tip

  • Double up from the front and from behind: the rear player marks the attacker at arm's length, the front player attacks the ball immediately.
