Two Team Keep Away
Back to Activities
Description
•Two teams of six players each. Two grids as shown.
•Two dark players are sent into the light players’ grid. Two light players are sent into the dark players’ grid.
•These players are the defenders against the four remaining players.
•The four attacking players try to split the two defenders with a pass for a goal.
•If the two defenders win the ball, and complete three passes, they take a goal away from the attacking team’s total.
•At the end of two minutes, send the two defenders back to report to their team. Keep track of the team totals.
•Repeat sequence with two new players.
Coaching Points
•Passing a receiving
•Supporting play.
•Combination play.
•Group defending principles. Pressure on the ball, cover slightly behind the pressuring defender so that splitting passes can not be made.
*It is a good idea to let the groups manage themselves. They decide who they are going to send in together to defend. This enables leadership and demands cooperation.
