Coach Carter
A short spoken walk-through of this drill.
Goal
The objective is to score goals while maintaining a high tempo through quick ball movement and constant off-ball support.
Setup
Mark out a rectangular pitch suited for your group size (e.g., 30x40 yards for 4v4). Place a goal at each end and divide players into two even teams.
Drill Instructions
1. Play a standard scrimmage with normal soccer rules. 2. Every player is limited to a maximum of 3 touches per possession. 3. If a player takes a 4th touch, the ball turns over to the other team to restart the play.
Coach Tip
Remind players to 'check their shoulders' and scan for their next pass before the ball even reaches their feet.
Avoid
Avoid players standing still after passing; they must immediately move to create a new passing triangle for their teammate.
Adjust on the fly
Make it easier
Increase the touch limit to 4 touches or add a 'neutral' player who always plays for the team in possession.
Make it harder
Restrict players to a 2-touch limit or require 3 passes to be made before a team is allowed to shoot on goal.
