Community | Tip-in Game

Gary Key Coach, England

DESCRIPTION

A small-sided match that encourages: early passing into the circle from midfield tip-in or deflected goals. Procedure: 2 teams: Attackers vs Defenders. Defenders can win the right to attack if they can carry the ball to the attackers' backline. Tip-in or deflected goals are worth double. To incentivise tip-ins (i.e. deflected goals) and early passes into the circle: Only 1 Attacker allowed in the circle. Attacker can only have 1 touch in the circle.

COACHING POINTS

Aim: To practice deflected/'tip-in' goals To get the ball into the box quickly and test the keeper Feedback: Can you score from outside the circle? So is there any point ‘shooting’ toward goal from outside the circle? What might be the benefit of this? (gets the ball into circle fast, score a tip-in) To score a tip-in goal, where does your striker need to go as soon as you win the ball? (into the circle) Should the striker just goal-hang? (no, help win the ball back first)
