Set Up
Put 3 offensive attackers and 3 defensive long poles on the playing field. Add in 2 transfer midfield players around up by top of restraining box. The game starts with a live 3v3, if a players dodges up the hash, for example, and they don’t have an outlet, they can move the ball to a transfer player, who can then look for backside scoring opportunities amongst the other attackers.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Work out of your team sets/spacing with the attack offensively. We want players to see how we use dodging to create offenses by getting the defense to slide
- Defense can slide, double teams, and need to protect the crease using their “house” principles. Defense should focus on keeping players away from the middle of the field
Progressions
- Add in token defenders with the midfielder, making passes a little harder
- put 4v4 in the midfield area
