Coaching Pointers:
The aim is to attack the opponent’s goal-line and to score as many goals as possible by taking the ball through one of the three small goals placed along the line. The player without the ball defends his three goals. The man with the ball starts his attack towards one of the three goals, trying to outplay the opposing defender by sudden changes of direction. The defender follows these changes of direction and tries to block his opponent’s direct path to the
nearest of the three goals and to slow him down.
The exercise develops both players’ tactical sense as it puts them in an un-usual match situation, with three goals in which they can score. The important thing for the attacker is to create danger by frequent changes of direction, by dribbling and by dummying. With several goals to cover, the defender cannot simply drop back and try to defend one goal; on the contrary, he has to dummy to intervene with the man with the ball and try to anticipate his reactions.
Method
Each player attacks and defends the three small goals on the goal-line. A goal only counts if the attacker passes through a set of posts with the ball at his feet. |
