Set Up
Create a playing area on the field, we like to use the restraining box. Place the players into two teams, and 2 goals back to back in the middle of the field. Inside the field of play, will be a 2v2, and each team will have 2 support players on their perimeter defensive end. Play as a live game, and use your support players in clearing situations. You can also also the support player on the offensive end. Have the game be played for 1 minute, and then sub new players in. During the live play, if there is a turnover, missed shot, or a goal, put a new ball into play for immediate restart.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Small area means harder stick skills. Focus on protecting the ball, and use your perimeter teammates for Give and Go’s to create more field space to attack
Progressions
