8 V. 8 - 6 GOALS







The Game

2 teams of 8. Each team defends their 3 goals, and tries to score in the opponents 3 goals. Team with most goals wins.

Coaching Points

Attack:

  1. Vision, recognizing where pressure is coming from.
  2. Posession / penetreation decisions.

  3. Switching the point of attack.


Defense:

  1. Pressure , cover, balance.

  2. Defending zonally since the 3 goals force a team to defend 'numbers down'.

  3. Immediate counter attack when ball is won.


Try These Variations

  1. Dribble through the goals instead of passing. (Make goals 10 yds.wide)

  2. Goals must come off a 'one touch'

  3. Limit attackers to '2 touches'
