Set Up:

  • Use a 15 x 20 yard grid with 3 yard goals on each end line.
  • Each team starts next to their goal. One team starts with the balls.
  • The attacker dribbles down the field and tries to score in the opponent's goal.
  • The defender tries to win the ball and score in their opponent's goal.
  • After a goal is scored or a ball goes out of bounds, the next two players start.
  • The players will switch roles after 5 minutes.

Coaching Points:

  • Encourage players to look to shoot as soon as they get enough space.
  • Placement vs. Power - When shooting on a small target with no GK, players should look to shoot for accuracy over power. Striking the ball with the inside of the foot is more accurate than using the laces.
  • Attack the defender 1v1 quickly to get them off-balance, and then look for a quick finish.

 Progressions:

1.  Progress to 2 v 1 and then 2 v 2.
