A small area game that works or urgency and quick play
Set Up
On one half the field, play a 5v5 game. The offense will move the ball around and randomly the coach will yell time left on the clock, like “Ten!”. The offense now has 10 seconds to find a way to create offense and a scoring opportunity before the 10 seconds expires
Coaching Points & Principles
- Thinking 1 step ahead – players on field should be thinking about where they are on the field before the clock time arrives, think move and play to space
- Urgency – Don’t panic, and find the best spot where the advantage may be
- If the player has it at X, and 8 seconds left, pass to the wing and dodge there, as an example
Progressions
- Youngest players, play 4v3 so there is always an advantage
- Make shot clocks longer as well
- Play 4v4 or full squad
