Set Up
Using a small area between the goal and restraining line, create a full field small playing area. Split the field in half, with coach in between with balls. After you split your group into 2 teams, put 3 players In at defense in one end, and 4 players in the other. Each side of the field is its own 4v3 game
The game starts with coach throwing the ball into 1 side for the offense. They play until a goal or a turnover happens:
- Goal: Make it take it, coach gives the offense the ball again
- Save/Turnover: Coach sends a ball in the other ends to play 4v3 down there
Play for 1-2 minutes and then rotate players. First team to 10 goals win!
Coaching Points & Principles
- Find the 2v1 advantage on offense.
- Move the ball quick to force defense to rotate
- Defense play the ball and backside zone feel to slow down the offense
- Defense keep sticks up in passing lanes, try not to let skip passes through!
