- Finishing & Scoring
Small goals, area about 15 x 12 m. Two attackers against one defender, one ball. After every attack everyone changes role: the defender becomes an attacker and one of the attackers becomes the defender. The attackers get a point for a goal, the defender a point for winning the ball or forcing it out. Each player counts their own points and tries to beat their own best from last time, with no ranking. Progression: the defender starts closer, or the attackers get only three touches each.
What the coach should look for
- Attackers: pass or carry, decide early.
- Defender: slow down, stand correctly and wait for the right moment.
- Everyone swaps roles all the time, so everyone tries everything.
- Count against your own best, not against anyone else.
