Objective:

Organization

• Area 40 x 40 yards.

• Four goals are set-up by cones or markers five yards out from each corner. Goals are one yard wide.

• The six players combine to score in any of the four goals.

• They can only score through front of goal and may dribble or pass through goal and still maintain possession.

• When ball goes out of play, re-start with either a throw-in or pass-in.

• Teams can also score by getting five (or six) consecutive passes.

• The challenge for the coach is to keep the score - and count the passes!

• Remember that they can score through a goal and still keep the passing sequence going.

 

Teaching

• Encourage players to "switch" the play by passing as the defending players can quickly mark the four goals.

• Encourage players to turn away with ball if one goal becomes "marked" by opponent.

• Passing the ball will produce goals more readily than by scoring.
