POSSESSION VS. SCORE
Play a regular 6 v. 6 game with one variation. After the first team scores, they change their objective. They now try to string together 7 passes in a row to get a 'goal.' They can not attempt a shot on goal until the other team scores. Once the other team does score a goal, both teams start the cycle over again from the beginning.
Coach's emphasis points:
-Work on general attacking principles of play: possession, team shape, improvisation, support, etc.
-Make sure that the keeper that was scored on joins the team in attack and defends as a 'field player.' Because the other team now scores with 7 passes, the keeper does not need to worry about defending the goal. This will make the team trying to maintain possession work harder as they will have to deal with the extra defender.
