Patience to score

  1. A miniature football field is made inside a full size football field.
  2. Two teams play 8 v 8.
  3. The idea of the exercise is for players to choose the right decision of when and when not to.
Game 1

A team can only score when one of its players gets the chance to dribble out of the box. The player who does this then plays a 1 v 1 against the Goalkeeper.

Variation:
  • Add a defender to protect the Goalkeeper.
  • Players now have to get passed the defender and the Goalkeeper.
Game 2

8 v 8 no defenders.

To score, players have to pass the ball into the zone for one of his/her team mates to run onto. Players cannot enter zone until the pass is made. He/she then plays a 1 v 1 with the Goalkeeper.

Variation:
  • Players shoot first time from pass.
