Penalty Box Shoot Out
Back to Activities
Description
•Play takes place inside the penalty box.
•Play continues until keeper makes a save and maintains possession or until the ball goes out of bounds.
•Coach immediately serves a new ball when this happens.
•The team in possession attacks, the other team defends. When possession is won, that team immediately tries to score.
Coaching Points
•Teams are encouraged to shoot rather than play ‘good soccer’.
•Look for half chances and rebounds.
•If play becomes too bunched around goal, prohibit players from entering keeper’s box unless in pursuit of a rebound.
