  3. through pass from attacker 2 to attacker 1
  4. defender 1 defends on attacker 1 when he has received the through pass

drawing Scoring
  • The exercise is meant to simulate a game.
  • It is therefore intended that one team consists of the defenders/defending midfielders and the other team consists of the attackers.
  • The attackers can score in the normal goal (decide if they can hit high as in the game).
  • The defending side can score by driving the ball.
  • Over the line of the goals on the half way line.   
  • The attackers learn to play over and finish at goal and the defending side learns to defend to the outside.  

     

  • Two teams with subs, there's a change if there's a score.
  • Each person defends a goal, there are five goals on each field, so there are also five people defending these goals.
  • If a goal is scored in your goal, you have to sit on the side and switch.
  • A new player (sub) enters the field from the side and defends the goal.
  • If there's a goal, it's a point.
  • The team with the most points at the end of the match is the winner.
  • A passes deep to B, B goes around behind pilons and gives the ball to A in front, A scores on goal;
  • B goes back to position, offers himself and gets the ball from C. CB play a 2v1 against A;
  • A enters the ball at D gets ball and plays (D, E and A) a 3v2 against CB.
