Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• Mark out a playing grid of 24x12 yrds, split into two equal boxes using cones on the edge of the 18 yrd area.
• The attacking team plays 4vs2 in the first box. The player in this box closest to the goal only has one touch.
• The player in the most advanced position (Center Forward) is the Target Player who will layoff shots to support players to shoot.
• The Target Player remains in this box at all times (except when following up rebounds).

Instructions

• The 4 attacking players circulate the ball in the first 12x12 yrd box. A2 has a one touch restriction.
• Following 3 passes and playing through the one touch player (A2), the players can play the ball forward into the Target Player.
• Target Player lays of the ball.
• First time shot on goal from one of the transitioning players stepping forward to shoot.
• If the attacking players fail to get the ball into the Target Players in 3 attempts they switch off with the resting defenders. If the defenders win the ball and complete a pass to each other 2 times the attacking and defending teams switch.
• Rotations: The player who takes the shot then becomes the Target player. The Target player becomes the one touch player and the other three attackers switch off with resting players. The two defenders switch out with resting players also. Switch the attackers and defenders are a period.
• Discuss technique of long distance shooting.
• Quick play and combinations on the edge of the 18 yrd area to open up the defense.
• Good angled layoffs for first time shots.
• Attacking players on their toes.

Scoring

• 2 teams compete and attempt to score when attacking. Most goals in 10 minutes.
