Coaching pointsOne of the keepers always starts with the ball and he must play out to the forward and not the neutral wingers. Once the attacker has received the ball he can then choose to pass to a winger or drib-ble past the defender and attempt to score on goal. The game continues until a goal is scored or the ball goes out of play. Look for? Consider your first touch, How can you make space? When you have passed to a winger what sort of movement should you make?

Use in creator20yards 20yards Drill: Collect the Treasure/Cones Objective: Develop 1v1 skills (attacking and defending) with a focus on dribbling and decision-making. Setup: Create a grid (20x20 yards). Place 10 cones in the middle of the grid, each representing "treasure." Split players into two teams: Pirates and Defenders. Pirates start outside the grid with a ball each. Defenders start inside the grid without a ball. Instructions: The Pirates' goal is to dribble into the grid, "steal" a treasure , and dribble back out to the outside without being tackled. Defenders try to block Pirates and win the ball. If a Defender wins the ball, they pass it out of the grid for the attacker to start again. Each time will be timed doing the drill and the team that gets all the cones out quickest wins.
