Attacking and defensive match forms
Objective
- Improve attacking and defensive skills in match situations.
Execution
- Begin with the wing players who bring the ball into play from the side.
- The ball is played to a player in position 3, who then runs forward.
- The player in position 3 receives a pass and tries to score by shooting.
- Simultaneously, the player with the ball runs towards the other goal.
- The player enters a one-on-one situation with the wing player of the other team who tries to block the scoring opportunity.
- The wing player of the other team does the same against the player in position 3 of the other team.
- Once a goal is scored, or the opportunity is over, the coach introduces a new ball into play.
- The coach calls out the colour of the team that must bring the ball into play, so all players remain actively involved.
