Set Up
Put players in 4 lines on the sideline, and give each player/line a number. Coach rolls a ball out and it’s a live 1v1v1v1 groundball. Once a player wins it, coach will yell out a second number, and that player will now be a teammate to the player who won the ground ball. They will play 2v2 to the goal
Coaching Points and Principles
- Groundballs – win the battle!
- Recognition – think quickly if you are on offense or defense
- 2v2 game principles – Offense support teammate, move and give them space to dodge. DEFENSE , communicate and try to force player with ball away from goal.
Progressions
- Add a 5th line, so it becomes a 3v2 unsettled
- make a rule, that the defense must double team the ball!
