KEEPER TO KEEPER







The Game

1. This is a possession game that uses the keepers.
2. Instead of trying to score, each team tries to pass the ball from one keeper to the other.
3. Keepers can play the ball with their hands.
4. Once they get it from one keeper, they receive it back again and try to attack going the other way.

Coaching Points

In Attack:

  • Attacking principles of play.

  • Always look to play the ball forward, and to the keeper, especially right when you get it from the keeper (Counter attack often).

  • Since the game changes directions frequently, players get practice playing in the back and front of the team.


In Defense:

  • Must have pressure on the ball.

  • Quickly get behind the ball when possession is lost, prohibit counter attacks.


Varaitions

  • Limit field players to 2 touches.

  • Do not allow keepers to handle the ball with their hands.
