How many of you would want to go up against a team every weekend that was skillful in attack, relentless in defense, and opportunistic in transition? Sounds like a recipe for a long season if you ask me. If you feel it would be better to be the team that can create separation and passing windows, ball-win like a pro, and crush you on the counter, then I have a training game for you.
This is a great training game to do in the beginning half of practice. It’s easy to set up, the players get a ton of gamelike reps, and the soccer gods are satisfied too (because it’s realistic to the game). Plus you can coach any number of topics from it.
What You’ll Love About This Drill
Errors in defending technique get brutalized. The game requires excellent individual defending choices.
The game rewards players that act decisively upon transition.
Offensively, player feints and moves are not rewarded unless accompanied by a change in pace thus imprinting that critical distinction upon the player’s mind forever.
Passing under pressure is a true skill.
Finally, it’s competitive.
