CORNER GOALS
The Game
- 8 v. 8 played on half of the field.
- Set up 10 yard squares in each corner of the pitch. These act as goals.
- Goals are scored when the ball is passed into the square and then out to a teammate.
- Each team can attack any of the four goals.
- Whoever has the ball is on offense, the other team defends.
Coaching Points
- Keep the team balanced in attack and defense. Don't bunch up around one goal.
- Look ot attack the goal that is open. see if players can recognize where pressure is coming from.
- It should be easy to keep possession since the defense has to worry about so many goals, therefore, be patient in attack, do not take unnecessary risks.
- In defense, look to create opportunities to double team.
Variations
- Use two balls to open the game up.
- Allow a goal if players dribble in, then out of the square.
- Insist that "passing" goals involve three different players.
- Limit players to two touches.
