Set Up:
Four players from each team line up at the gates, waiting for two balls to be played in by the Feeder.
Part One: When the Feeder plays the first ball in, two attackers (Purple team, Players 1 and 2) and one defender (Black team, Player 1) run on to play 2v1 to goal in that half of the field.
Part Two: After the first pass is made in the 2v1, the Feeder plays the second ball into the other half. Two defenders (Purple team, Players 3 and 4) and three attackers (Black team, Players 2, 3, 4) run into the other half to play 3v2 to goal.
Part Three (not shown): When the 2v1 has gone to completion, the three players run into the other half to create a 4v4. If the defenders win the ball in the 4v4, they counterattack in the other direction. Teams that lose the ball can re-possess the ball and continue their attack on goal.
Scoring:
-If the lone defender in the 2v1 wins the ball, he can score one point by dribbling the ball out of that zone.
-If the two defenders win the ball in the 3v2, they cannot counterattack until play is complete in the 2v1.
-Any time a defender kicks the ball out of play or a GK gains possession, the play is over and no points are scored. The two teams switch roles after each round.
Coaching Points:
1. Speed of Play – Play one and two touch soccer and force the defenders to chase the ball.
2. Attacking – Push the dribble at the defender and force him to commit first.
3. Finishing – If your shot is going to be blocked, fake it and beat the defender with the dribble.
Progressions:
1 Add a neutral defender in each half.
