Set Up
Put your players into 3 teams, smaller group drills so 2-4 players per team. You can use goals or cones as your scoring point. Coach will put a bag of balls In the middle of the playing area, and on the whistle, 1 player from each team must go get a ball, and bring it back to their scoring area. They can shoot on a goal or carry through a gate using cones as shown in this video. The next teammate in line can go get a ball, once they get back to line, acting like a relay race. The team with the most balls after a 1 minute session wins
Coach Points and Principles
- Ground balls – finding a loose ball and accelerating through
- Ball Control – carry the ball confidently back to your scoring area
- Shooting – if using Goals, add in shooting constraints (must finish on a bounce shot, as an example)
- Teamwork! Make sure players are rooting each other on
Progressions
- Make field larger so they have to run more / smaller for less experienced players
- add more teams (4,5,6)
