Target Player

Attacking
Written By Craig Parry

Key Objectives

Work with the striker on movement to be able to support based on the ball, and with other players on playing into the strikers feet

 

Technical/Coaching Points

  • Striker should move to be able to support

  • Recognise when that is in line with the ball and when a switch of play might be the best option

Organisation

Set up the pitch with 2 end zones marked out. On these end zone lines add cones to make 3 gates on each side

 

How to play

The teams score by passing to their striker. The striker must receive the ball through one of the gates, and must control the ball within the end zone for the point to count.

 

Progression

If your players find this too easy or too difficult, you could progress the game in the following ways:

  • Alter the space

  • Remove the gates and let the striker receive anywhere

  • Add a defender in the end zone to interfere with the striker

  • Overloads/Underloads
