Score it, Keep it!
Set Up:
Play begins in the defending half, where the players are 3v3 plus two. From there, the attackers look to pass the ball into their teammate (use a striker) playing 1v1 in the attacking half. Once the ball is played in, all of the players can cross over and go to goal, creating a 6v4. If the defenders win the ball, they attack the two small goals at the top of the defending half. Whenever a team scores - in any goal - they keep possession and immediately attack in the other direction. Games are played to five.
Coaching Points:
1. Width – Use the entire midfield zone and force the defenders to chase.
2. Receiving – The striker may need to make two or three sharp runs in order to get open.
3. Finishing – If turned away from goal, pass backwards and build up numbers of attackers.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Play 2v2 in the attacking zone, the strikers may turn and go straight to goal.
Progression 2 – Before going to goal, the striker must pass back out into the midfield zone.
