Organization:
Area: 25y x 12y
Divide the field into four zones. Three players are stationed in each zone, but one player must step out of the zone while defending. The team in possession plays the ball back and forth from zone to zone past the two defenders. The two defenders try to ‘close the door’ and intercept the ball. After they win the ball, their third player steps back in and the 3v2 goes the other way. Rotate players around in zones.
Game: For every successful connection between two attacking lines, the team gets a point. The team with the most connections wins.
Coaching Points:
Defenders
-
Stay together and quickly shift with the ball to avoid and intercept the pass from the attackers.
-
Work hard.
Attackers
-
Pass the ball quickly to each other to create space between the defenders and the option to split the defenders with a pass.
-
Pass the ball with the correct speed to the correct foot,
-
Receive the ball with the furthest foot.
-
Drop off a little bit when the player next to you has the ball. This will make it easier to receive and pass the ball.
