BUMPER !! 4 + 4 vs 4 + 4 w 2 keepers in a 35 x 25-yard area
Inside players play 2 touch and the outside players play 1 touch.Very fast paced game that is all about scoring.Everyone is always involved and it is a lot of fun and gets to be very competitive. Excellent training for all, especially the keepers.
Coaching Points
- Encourage shooting and scoring. Look for rebounds. With the use of the outside players, there will be plenty of opportunities for first - time shooting.
- Keepers will be constantly involved in the game and will realize improved quickness in all areas of goalkeeping.
- Outside players must be alert for balls coming to them and then play quickly back in for a scoring chance.
- A game of constant transition.—defenders become attackers and attackers quickly become defenders.
