Smash and Grab

Description

Put a goalkeeper in each goal and play 1 v 1 in the middle. Play pair vs. pair for 3 minutes, then change. Repeat in 2 other areas for a total of 12 players.

The object of the game is to score in the opposing goal. The team in possession must attempt to attack the opposing goal as a pair using passing, dribbling and shooting skills to score. Hence, the goalkeeper of the team in possession comes out of the goal to support his partner, but cannot score. Repeat in the opposite direction.

Progressions:
1. Goalkeepers can now score.
2. If a player does a fake or move, he scores 1 point. 3 points for each goal.
