STEAL THE BACON







The Game

  • Two teams, each player is designated a number.
  • The coach calls out the numbers of the players. These players then run out from the endline to play the game.

  • The coach serves balls in from the sideline if the ball goes out of bounds or into a goal.

  • Each group should play for about one and a half minutes of continuous action.

  • Players waiting to come on should return loose balls to the coach, or act as "support" players for those that are playing, able to return passes made to them.

  • The number of players playing at one time depends on the coach's objectives. However, this game is best when played in groups of 2 v. 2, or 3 v. 3.


Coaching Points

  • Combination Play

  • Seeking and taking shots
