Coaching Pointers:
This is a progression from the "One Touch Shooting Drill". Divide your players into three even teams of 4, 5 or 6 players. Identify team by using different colored bibs. Position a goalkeeper in each goal. Organize your playing area as shown in the diagram above. Two teams play while one team rests. The object of the game is to score a goal using "one touch". The play is free play but a goal must be struck "first time". If the goalkeeper makes a save they must thrown the ball out to the opposite team. When a goal is scored, the winner stays on and the losing team swaps with the resting team. First team to get three straight victories wins!

Variations
   Two Touch Play
   Use Two Balls
