5v5, Flanks First
5v5, Flanks First
Set Up:
There are 12 players set up on the small field, playing 5v5 with small gates placed out on each flank. To begin the game, the Feeder sends a 50-50 ball onto the field, and play continues from there. During the game, the attacking team must dribble the ball thru either of the two small gates (from either side) before shooting on goal. When a goal is scored or a ball is put out of play, the game is re-started by the Feeder. Games are played to two goals with a five minute time limit.
Coaching Points:
1. Open up with the first touch in order to see the opposite side of the field.
2. When one gate closes down, switch the ball over to the other side of the field.
3. After winning the ball, create superior numbers with a quick transition to attacking.
Progressions:
1. Use one gate in the center of the field.
