© CoachTruly.com- Description
Small-sided game where each player is assigned an opponent player to mark.
If a player's assigned opponent scores a goal, the player who lost their mark has to sit out of the game for one minute.
As a variation, instead of one minute, the player can go to the sideline to juggle the ball a certain number of times, after which they can return to the game.
- Coaching key points
- Keep proper distance to your player – not too tight but not too far away.
- Progression
- Where is your player right now? How do you react if your player changes position quickly? Can you guide your player to an unfavorable position?
