Players: 12+ | Difficulty: 1 |


Description:  Team vs Team possession to goal with outside pass options.


Application: Players scanning to utilize all passing options.



Instructions





  1. Normal team vs team to goal.

  2. The third team plays as outside passers for the team in possession.

Setup


  • Grid with goals.

  • Lots of balls.




Rules

  • Outside players can not score.

  • Outside players only have 1 or 2 touches (coach decide).

  • Winner stays. The outside team switches with the losing team.

  • Inside players CAN NOT go outside.

Coaching Points




  • Since outside players cant be defended, make sure they are ready to play quick passes with the team in possession.

  • Make sure the inside players utilize their extra passing options.

  • The defenders must learn to use their body to eliminate as many passing options/lanes as possible.

  • Make sure players keep a shape/position in their teams.


For Youth Coaching:

  • This drill can help the outside players learn to scan better without the pressure of players running at them.
