Organization:
Two long narrow fields with larger goals and GK in one goal. Defending team scores on a large empty goal. This can also be played with 4 counter goals in the corners or as line soccer. One attacker starts high with a defender in his/her back. The game starts with a long pass from Attacker 1 to Attacker 2. Attackers try to score on the goal with GK, the defender can score on the empty goal. Rotate players through.
Variations:
Add an attacker and defender to make it 3 v 2. The second defender starts with the two attackers and must let the first pass go.
Focus Points:
-
Movement of deep striker to get open.
-
Strong long pass, at the right moment, with the inside of the foot or laces to the deep striker.
-
Passer makes a run to the correct position to support the deep striker. Make the field wide and create a 2 v 1 situation.
-
Defender: Try to score quickly after winning the ball. In the beginning of the activity, the defender can not try to win the ball until the attacker receives the ball.
