Set Up
Create a small area on the field, with 2 goals at opposite ends from each other (if only 1 goal, that is OK). Split the group up into 2 teams, and start with a 2v1 inside the playing area. The 2 offensive players will play keep away, until they make 5 consecutive passes (or you can use a time limit (30 seconds). Once they complete, the last player withe the ball will take a shot on the goal. Coach will pass a ball in to the secondary offensive player for a second shot, on the opposite goal (or same goal if only using 1). If the defender wins with a takeaway, they can go score on the goal. Once play ends, get new players in and flip O to D.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Stickwork – Players should be making good passes to their tammates
- Movement – No standing still, player with ball and without ball should be moving to create clear passing lanes for each other
- Defense – keep stick up try to make it hard for players to complete a pass
- Teamwork!
Progressions
- Add in other contraints like using off hand, time limit, etc..
- Play 3v2
