Set Up
Set up a playing area split into 4 squares. 4 players start on the outside with 2/3 balls each. 4 players start centrally, playing 1 v 1. There is a mini-goal in each corner of the playing area, with 2 goals designated per team. Central players are designated as receiving players and defending players.
The receiving players look to create space away from their marker to receive a pass from a team mate and score in 1 of the goals. If the defender wins the ball, they attempt to score in 1 of their goals. Repeat until all balls have been played.
Progression
If defender wins the ball and scores, they become the receiving player
2 v 2
Coaching Points
Drag marker into one square and move into another to create space
Awareness of defenders position and available space to move into
Vary speed of movement – make the defender “sleepy” by slowing them down
Decision-making of receiving touch – shield, turn, finish
