Set Up:
The teams play 3v3 plus two, and the neutrals (in yellow) must stay on the sideline. Each team has two medium-sized goals to shoot at and the keeper defends both goals.
Conditions can be placed on play, to be determined by the coach:
1 Allow the neutrals to finish on goal from the sideline.
2 Limit all of the players to two touches.
3 Teams can only score from a cross and finish.
4 Teams can only score with a first-time finish.
Games are played to three goals and the neutrals rotate out after each game.
Coaching Points:
1 Attacking – Look for quick changes of the field to create overloads on goal.
2 Speed of Play – Play in a one and two touch rhythm and make the defense chase the ball.
3 Decision Making – If a goal area closes down, fake a shot on goal and switch the play over to the other side of the field.
Progressions:
1 Progress to 5v5 plus two with sideline neutrals and one goal on the end line.
