Noah's Lark With Windows
Objective:
-
To combine the attack and defense in a challenging game.
-
To develop Wall-Passes and One-Two's.
Target:
-
One team vs. the other, also pairs to keep a count of goals scored and conceded.
Organization
-
Area 30 x 20 yards with goals eight yards wide.
-
6 vs. 6, with partners assigned on each team: each partner given a number from 1 to 3.
-
Coach shouts number (1-3) and rolls ball into play.
-
The two pairs with that number come out of goal to compete against each other.
-
Remaining players must stay on goal line and defend goal without using hands.
-
Goal can only be scored below knee height.
-
On the outside lines are the coach and assistant coach (or a players) who can receive a pass from any player, but must pass it back to the same player or his team-mate.
-
When ball goes out of play, coach can immediately serve in another to same pairs - or allow pairs to go back to goal line.
-
Ball can also be played back to "goalkeepers," who must play ball back with no more than two touches.
-
Do not let "goalkeepers" move out off goal line. Penalty kick from six yards out if they do.
Teaching
-
When defending, one player should go to player with ball.
-
Supporting player must watch other attacker, mark the dangerous space and cover partner all at the same time.
-
Coach should encourage dribbling, passing and shooting to the "team" in possession.
-
Encourage "goalkeepers" to defend as a wall together, and to move as a unit to block shooting angle.
