Organisation
-
Use the full length of the court.
-
Mark out a wide channel on either side of the court that ends 3m from the touchline.
-
Place a goal at either end of the court.
-
Set up a 5v5 game.
Explanation
-
Players are restricted to a maximum of two touches except when inside the wide channels inside the opposition half, where there is no limit on touches.
-
Every attack is initiated by the goalkeeper.
Variation
-
Only one player can enter the wide channel at once.
Coaching points
-
Attacking players are encouraged to perform shimmies, feints and other movements to beat their defender.
-
When an attacking player engages a defender, it can free up space for team-mates to exploit.
-
When possible, players should dribble at pace to progress towards goal more quickly.
-
Using a range of dribbling techniques helps to make the attack unpredictable for the defenders.
