Speed Ball
Objective – score goals asap
GameFocusResetProgression
- 4v4/5v5 the session is physically very demanding then two 4 v 4 games works well, with the teams given equal time to rotate between rest and to play.
- Start from baseline aim to be first team to collect the ball, attack and shoot (all shots must be from within the D).
- At every breakdown in play the coach feeds a new ball at random onto the pitch.
- The game continues. This encourages quick reaction to where the next ball is thrown.
- Winning a free hit is not a good outcome so the game rewards teams who keep the ball away from the opposition.
- Rewards fast attacking play that takes advantage of the opposition being caught out of position.
- The format encourages everyone to be an attacker and a defender.
- Speed
- Share the advantage of having one goalie by giving teams the chance to attack both ends of the pitch.
Coach feeds new ball in somewhere different
Change it:
- Feed the balls from one side or the other to deliver more left or right hand side play.
- Change the number of players to alter the intensity.
- Make the D areas and pitch size bigger or smaller to change the type and number of goalscoring opportunities created.
