Drills: End game
Basic game (e.g. 3v3 / 4v4)
Praise for brave dribbling and feints.
Game: Shoot Before the Center Line
Small field, lots of shots and goals, shoot before the center line! The game starts with a goalkeeper's opening. Only one player from the defending team is allowed to press in the attacking team's half, so the situation is 2v1 (3v1 when the goalkeeper is involved). The attacking team must shoot from their own area before the center line! If the defender manages to steal the ball, the other initially defending team players can join the attack, and the situation is played normally as 3v3 until the end. The attacking team can be changed, for example, by having one team attack consecutively as long as they succeed in scoring. You can also change after each situation, or the coach can pass a new ball into play to the goalkeeper, from whose side a new situation starts. The goal is to keep the game fast-paced.
Game: Ball Quickly into Play
The coach places balls along the sidelines. The idea of the game's speed is that when the ball goes over the sideline, the team continuing play can take the nearest ball from any edge and continue the game immediately. You can additionally use, for example, a three-second rule when starting from the sidelines (make a decision before the coach counts to three).
Color Signal Game
Two goals at both ends of the field (e.g., a mini goal and a gate goal, or two gate goals marked with different colors). The coach indicates the current target goal using a color signal (e.g., by holding up a cone of the same color). Can be modified according to objectives, for example, by adding a scoring area if needed to prevent random shooting. Can also be scored, for instance, 1 point per goal in either goal, 2 points per goal in the correct color goal.
