The Game: 4 White vs. 4 Grey with 4 Red target players. Target players should be one touch, two touches maximum. Games should be first team to 3 goals or 5 minute maximum. When Grey wins the ball they play to Red and then become the attacking team. When keeper makes save he plays out to a red and teams switch roles. If you score coach plays ball back into the team that scored.
Winner stays on!
Coaching should observe:
- Who is taking the half chances?
- Who has the courage inside the 6 yd box?
- Who communicates? Who blocks shots?
Focus:
- Attacking- Finishing, movement off ball, ability to play in tight spaces.
