Set Up:
The two teams play 2v2 plus one on the inside of the grid with four players from each team stationed around the outside. Points are scored by passing or dribbling the ball thru the large triangle goal in the center. The players on the outside can make one touch passes back to the inside of the field OR they can take the dribble to the inside, switching with the player who passed him the ball. Also, defenders can switch out of the grid at any time if they are too tired to pressure the ball.
Coaching Points:
1. Speed of Play – Play one and two touch soccer and force the defenders to chase.
2. Patience – Hold the ball long enough to draw the defender, then pass off to a teammate.
3. Decision Making – As defenders move to the ball, look to make passes against the flow of play.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Use a larger triangle goal with a goalkeeper.
