A fun game that works on transition play and finding the advantages
Set Up
Create a small playing area, and split group into 2 teams. Start with a 4v4, and play until a dead ball (Goal, Save, Turnover). The last offensive player to touch the ball, leaves the game. The defending team now goes on offense playing 4v3 to the other goal. Same rules apply, last offensive player to touch, leaves game. Continuing playing with these rules until you get to 1v0 against the goalie. Restart a new game, and give the other team the start so they play with uneven advantages.
Coaching Points & Principles
- Transition Play – Playing fast
- Finding the advantages
- Defense organization – unsettled, all even
Progressions
- for U8 start with 3v3
