FineSoccer Drill 88 

Today's activity is a great warm up that will get the players working hard and playing quickly while having a blast.  

Use the center circle as boundaries and put two U10 goals on two sides of the circle facing each other.  If you have 16 players, have a 4 v 4 game in the middle and the other 8 on the outside broken into two teams (see diagram below)

The players on the inside are trying to score in the goal and can use the players on the outside who are on their team. The players on the outside are restricted to one touch only and the last defender back for each team is the keeper (this will be constantly changing depending on who is the last player back).  While there is no restriction of touches in the middle, because of the limited space involved, they have to play quickly or get stripped of the ball.

When a team scores, the other team must switch (meaning if the B's score, the G's on the inside go to the outside and the G's on the outside go to the inside).  As long as your team keeps scoring the players on your team stay on.

Not only does this game require quick play from all (whether inside or out) it also requires quick transitions and gets a lot of shooting in a short period of time.  Play for awhile and you will see your team really get into it.

Give this a try and let me know what you think on the FineSoccer Forum.

Have a great day!
