Coaching Suggestions

Possessing Team
  • If you’re a player without the ball, get open for your teammates.
  • Talk! Call for the ball as you move to open space.
  • Keep your head up if you have the ball so you can see where your teammates are.
Defending Team
  • Try to deny the passing lanes. Since there aren’t goals, you can focus on watching where possible passes might go and intercepting them.
  • Be aware of where the other team is on the field – don’t just focus on the player with the ball.
