The players line up in three's or four's (depending
on numbers) behind a line or marker.
The goalkeeper in each section can act as server OR a server
can be placed between the goal areas to pass the ball to the
front player in each group (server's marked (S1) and (S2).
So, (G1) or (S1) would pass the ball to (X3), (the front player
in group 1). X3 has to control the ball, but as soon as he
makes his first contact with the ball, then (X1) chases from
the back of the group to try and either tackle (X3) or if
not to at least pressurise him before he gets in a shot at
goal. (G1) tries to save.
That completed they go back to the rear of their group, and
the practice continues with group 2. (X4) receives a pass
either from (S1), (S2) or (G2) and he tries to score while
(X6) attempts to prevent him from getting in a shot at goal.
The practice continues to group 3 using (S2) and (G3) as servers,
and that completed group 1 starts off again.
Coaches should insist on: -
(1) A good first touch from
the front man in each group i.e. (X3), (X4) and (X7) in the
first round.
(2) Speed is essential, and
all players should attempt to go through the practice as quickly
as they can.
(3) The fewest number of touches
on the ball by the attackers before they get in a shot at
goal
(4) The attacker should try
and run across the run of the man attempting to defend, so
as to make it difficult for him to make a challenge for the
ball.
