Finding Open Positions

Tracy Roberts on 15-May-2007 at 13:31:57

Split players into 2 teams (use practice jerseys). Coach stands in goal. Call color of team that should be looking for the pass from the coach (hand-throw). Coach tells them that the person, on the called-out team, that gets the most open will get the ball. After coach tosses ball to open player, it now becomes one team vs. the other and try to pass and score. This is played on just half of the field. Example: 12 players, 6 yellow, 6 blue. From the goal-line, Coach yells: "Blue!" Blue players are on offense, yellow on defense. Coach tosses to the blue player he/she deems got the most open (even if it is near midfield). Blue now tries to score and yellow defends. After a score or ball goes out of bounds, switch colors - Coach yells: "Yellow!" and do it all over again. Players seem to really like this game and it teaches them to look for the open field and then they get to play soccer, both offense and defense.
