Game on two goals with a new ball after a shot

• 12 min
• 8–14 players
• 5v5
• 7v7
• Finishing & Scoring
• Counter-attack

Area about 40 x 30 m. Each team defends two small goals on its own short side and attacks the opponents’ two. Play 5v5 or 4v4. After every shot, goal or ball out of play, the coach plays in a new ball straight away, so the tempo stays high and there are many transitions. The team that just shot must press immediately. Points for goals. Good as a closing game where the focus of the week gets a rule.

What the coach should look for

• Shoot at once when the chance is there.
• After the shot: press straight away.
• Use both goals: play where the space is.
• Encourage each other, and praise small things too.
