Description
•Two teams, Each player is designated a number.
•The coach calls out the number’s of the players. These players then run out from the endline to play the game.
•The coach serves balls in from the sideline if the ball goes out of bounds, or into the goal.
•Each group should play for about 1 1/2 minutes of continuous action.
•Players waiting to come on should return loose balls to the coach, or act as “support” players for those that are playing, able to return passes made to them.
•The number of players playing at one time depends on the coach’s objectives. However, this game is best when played in groups of 2 vs. 2, or 3 vs. 3.
