Instructions

1. Two balls are set up five-ten feet in front of two mini goals (or targets of any kind)

2. The blue player will try to score the balls in either goal.

3. The blue player will go back and forth between the two balls, doing faints or kicking them into the net.

4. The red player will stay on the line in front of the goals, running back and forth to try to block the coming passes into the goals.

Setup

• 2 Mini Goals/Targets

• 2+ Balls in a line in front of the goals/targets.

Coaching Points

• Try to let players have fun and be creative.

• Faints shouldn't just be on the ball, they should be faking running to the other ball, fake shots, body hesitations, etc.

• Make sure defenders are not just reacting.
