Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

Game with 4 goals - where each team has two goals in which they can score.

Make sure that the distance between the 2 goals encourages the player to change the point of attack.

COACHING POINTS

With every free hit the player should self pass and look to transfer the ball to the other side of the pitch (switching the point of attack) and create space for players to catch the opposition out of position.
