Chip n' Dale
Objective:
-
To develop in a 3 vs. 3 game attacking cooperation and chipping techniques.
-
To develop good collective defending positions relative to attackers.
​
Target:
-
To out hustle and outscore opposition.
Organization
-
Area 35 x 25 yards.
-
Mark 1/2 circle zone at ends.
-
3 vs. 3, with team in possession attempting to chip ball into teammates' hands in zone.
-
To score, ball cannot bounce before reaching zone; ball must be caught by player in zone without catcher stepping outside.
-
Coach serves balls and changes players from zone to field every three to four minutes.
Teaching
-
Attackers have to create angle or space to be able to chip successfully.
-
Passing/dribbling/faking are methods to create an opening for chipped "shot."
-
Defenders must send one man to hustle player with ball to prevent easy chip.
-
Other defenders must correctly support hustler to prevent pass, giving clear chance for attacker to chip.

Progressions
U11 Progressions
-
This is progressed later in the U11 plans by Chip n’ Dale with Windows.
-
If they are not being successful, use the Inside Out- Chipping activity in a future session to enable them to master the chipping technique.
-
This progression from the standard Chip n’ Dale to the game with side windows encourages players to find space to receive the ball.
-
It also makes players seek space to receive the ball when a “window” is in possession.
U12 Progressions
-
This challenging practice should be continued when moving into U13 and beyond.
-
Increases in difficulty as numbers on a side are increased.
