Equipment, Setup & Instructions
Equipment
- Cones for marking area and zones
- Balls
- Goals with goalkeepers
Setup
- Area: 20x25 yard area marked with cones, divided into two corridors, one split into 2 zones and the other into 3 zones.
- Goals: One small goal (marked by a cone target) at the end of each corridor, 2 goals total.
- Team Red: 3 red outfield defenders, 1 positioned in the two-zone corridor and 2 positioned one per zone in the three-zone corridor.
- Team Red GK: 2 yellow goalkeepers, one on the goal line at the end of each corridor.
- Team Blue: 4 blue outfield attackers, 2 positioned inside the corridors (one at the start of each corridor) and 2 positioned outside the playing area, each holding a ball as servers.
- Equipment: Cones marking the outer boundary of the 20x25 area, the two corridors, the internal zone divisions (2 zones in one corridor, 3 zones in the other), and a cone target at the end of each corridor; balls held by the outside attacking servers.
Instructions
- An attacker from outside passes the ball to the attacker in the corridor.
- The attacker dribbles to beat the defender and attempts to score.
- In the two-zone corridor, defeat the first defender, then beat the second upon entering their zone.
- After the shot, the initial server becomes the next attacker.
- Rotate attackers through the corridors for repetition.
