Set Up:
-
The two teams split their players into two lines, starting in the corners of the field, just outside of the small goals.
-
The defending team starts with the balls. The game starts with the defender passing the ball across the field to either attacker.
-
Play begins with the first touch and continues 2v1 to the small goals. If the defending player wins the ball, they can score by dribbling over the opposite end line.
-
If the ball goes out of bounds, play is over and the next three players come on.
-
The teams switch roles after 10 balls. A running score is kept to determine the winner.
Coaching Points:
1. The defender should curve his run to the ball to force play in one direction.
2. Trapping an attacker on the sidelines turns the 2v1 into a 1v1.
3. The first attacker should force the defender to commit to the ball before passing off.
Progressions:
1. Progress to 2v2 and then 3v2.
