A 1 vs. 1 exercise in which the defending red team plays the ball in to the attacking blue team.
- When the attacking blue side has the ball, it looks for a 1 vs. 1 with the player from team red.
- If either team scores, both players switch sides so player red goes to blue and player blue goes to red.
- It may be that a red player takes the ball away. In that case, they may score on team blue's small goal.
- Team blue must score on a big goal that also has a goalkeeper.
- The players keep track of their own points and the three who finish last do 10 push ups.
Game rules:
- Ball out are 2 new players.
- If the goalkeeper catches the ball, it is play on so it is a 2 against 1 situation.
- Goal is also 2 new players.
Points of attention:
- Make sure the attackers dribble in at a high pace.
- Make sure the defenders defend forward.
- Make sure the defenders have a good stance.
1st exercise:
- You start the first exercise by playing the ball in.
- The player accepts and passes it to the next player.
- The player also runs after the ball so that each time someone is in the right place.
- When you notice that it is too easy, you switch to the second exercise and it goes like this.
2nd exercise:
- Player 1 plays into player 2. He then drops the ball to player 1 who then passes it to player 3.
- Player 3 then drops it to player 2 and then player 2 plays diagonally to player 4 and so on.
Points of attention:
- Have the players coach each other.
- See if they are keeping track.
- If it is too easy, increase the pace.
- In exercise 2, then have the player really get under the ball when they get the ball back.
- The players must offer themselves.
- The players should ask for the ball.
The purpose of this exercise is to play out of overtime.
- The 2 defenders of team red play the ball diagonally to a player of team blue.
- Then it is a matter of scoring and making sure they play out the overtal.
The teams just stay put and you have them switch sides after 6 minutes.
If the red team takes the ball away, they can score on a little goaltending by team blue.
