FineSoccer Drill 106

Here is a great game to emphasize width in attack as well as taking the ball to the end line and serving the ball.

Start with a full field (or smaller if you don't have enough players) with two full size goals in the normal area. Next, with coaching poles (or corner flags or even cones) make 6 more goals on the field as shown in the diagram below

There are numerous rules you can use in this game.

Let's start with the rule that each time the ball goes through the two goals on the midfield line it counts as a point (it doesn't matter which way the ball goes through as they will be rewarded for playing a negative pass through the goals to relieve pressure.

Next is the rule that if a ball is taken down to the end line (of the goal the team is attacking) and serves the ball to a teammate through the goal, it's another point. Next a goal scored in the real goal counts as 3 points (the important thing to remember is that possession is nice and serving balls is nice but the ultimate goal is to still score a goal).

Other variations include changing the rules so that instead of rewarding a team for playing a ball through the side goals, you require them to do so before attacking goal. Or require that the ball go through two of the field goals (any two) before a team can attack the real goal.

There are numerous options depending upon what you want to emphasize but this game allows you to make minor changes of the rules and work on many different aspects of the game
