Set Up:

• Play 4v4 on a 30 x 20 yd field with a 5 x 5 yd “cave” in the middle where the coach stands. Players must avoid playing the ball in or through the cave. During play, if a player enters the cave, that player is captured by the monster (coach) for 10 seconds. All other rules for the game are straight soccer rules.

Coaching Points:

• Encourage players to look for space away from the monster, as well as the opposition.

• Players need to be constantly moving to find new space, as the middle of the field is closed.
