Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
Score as many goals as possible. Teams with a numerical advantage must complete at least one pass before shooting.
Setup
Create a 20Wx30L grid with large goal on one side and one small goal or dribble gate on the other. Place 6 cones along the edge of the grid with the small goals, alternating cone colors. Using bibs/pinnies, organize teams of three. Every player starts with a ball on one of the 6 cones, alternating teams along the line. Two teams face off at a time.
Drill Instructions
1. Player 1 starts with a breakaway shot on goal. 2. Immediately after, a player from the opposing team enters, creating a 1v1 against Player 1. 3. When that play ends, another player enters to make it a 2v1. 4. Continue adding players after each play to create a 2v2, 3v2, and finally a 3v3 scenario.
Coach Tip
Keep the tempo high; the next player should enter the moment the previous ball is dead.
Avoid
Standing still after a shot; players must instantly transition to defending the incoming attacker.
Adjust on the fly
Make it easier
Remove the 'one pass' rule for the attacking team to allow for direct 1v1 attacking.
Make it harder
Add a 5-second time limit for the attacking team to get a shot off once they enter.
