Soccer: Crossfire

1) Only wide players allowed in channel.

2) A goal must come from a cross or direct result of a crossed ball.

3) Compete 5 v 5 in middle and limit to 2 touches. Wide players have unlimited touches.

4) Condition game and coach what you see.

Place 5 discs with soccer balls on them on each end line.

Play 6 v 6 in the area. When the ball rolls out of bounds, it should be rolled in underhand by a player. The object is to score by knocking one of the balls off a disc on your teams attacking end line.

All players must try to dribble past the defender to the safety of the other side on the coach's call.

If the defending player manages to kick the other players ball out of the area, then that player also becomes a defender. Continue until one attacker remains.

Position 3 players who link arms or hold hands on the goal line.

Play 3 v 3 until coach shouts, "Change!" then the chain breaks and the team previously out on the field becomes the chain in goal.

The original chain players now become field players.

3 players from each team form a human chain by linking arms or holding hands.

These players are stationed on the goal line in front of a goal approximately 8 yards wide. The team in possession must attempt to score past the human chain defending the opposing goal.

Goals and saves are each worth 1 point(players in the chain are not allowed to use their hands to defend the goal and must control the ball within 5 yards to score).
