Organization
Place two markers on either side of the mini-goal and one vertically behind it. The players line up on each marker and one (the striker) in front of the mini-goal. The inactive players wait behind their teammate who starts with the ball (starting position).
Description
- Player A passes the ball to teammate B
- B, after controlling the ball, passes it to player C
- C plays back to teammate B
- B, after receiving the pass, lifts the ball over the mini goal, trying to set up teammate D, who is in front of the goal, for a volley
- With each repetition, the players move up the line following the path of the ball (changing their position within the sequence each time)
Rules
- The goal must be scored on the fly (volley) or according to the coach's specific instructions
- At the end of each series, change the starting side
Variations
- The goal can only be scored with a header, only with other parts of the body, only on the volley with the weaker foot, only with an acrobatic move, only on the rebound
Coaching Points
- Encourage kids' creativity in finding acrobatic moves
- Encourage players not to be afraid of contact with the ball
- Encourage kids to try playing with their weaker foot
