Set Up:

•  The two teams split their players into two lines, starting in the corners of the field, just outside of the small goals. 

• The defending team starts with the balls. The game starts with the defender passing the ball across the field to either attacker.

• Play begins with the first touch and continues 2 v 1 to the small goals. If the defending player wins the ball, they can score by dribbling over the opposite end line.

• If the ball goes out of bounds, play is over and the next three players come on.  

• The teams switch roles after 10 balls. A running score is kept to determine the winner.

Coaching Points:

1.  The defender should curve his run to the ball to force play in one direction.

2.  Trapping an attacker on the sidelines turns the 2 v 1 into a 1 v 1.

3.  The first attacker should force the defender to commit to the ball before passing off.

Progressions:

1. Progress to 2 v 2 and then 3 v 2.
