Activity 1
Technical Warm-Up
Double 18 Shot Stopping
Setup: TRAINING AREA = 44W x 36L. Build a "second" 18 yard box off the existing 18 yard box. Have the white 18 yard box line serve as the midline between the two zones. In (1) zone = K, #3,4,5,2 v (2) attackers; in the (2) zone = #6 v (4) attackers. Balls always start with white opposition in far grid with (4) attackers. Their objective is to strike on goal, or combine with their (2) attackers. If red team wins possession they can shot on goal, or combine with #6 to go to goal. ALL PLAYERS ARE RESTRICTED TO THEIR SPACE/ZONE
Goal: White opposition starts with the ball in the far grid and tries to strike on goal or combine with their 2 attackers in the near zone. If the red team wins possession, they score by shooting on goal or combining with #6. Players must stay in their assigned zone at all times.
Coaching Points
- Application of technique - collecting the ball, distribution, and footwork to position for collection
- What: Reading the body shape of the defense
- Who: GK
- When: The moment the defense forces the play central or wide
- Where: In the defending half, as the ball enters shooting range for the opposition
- Why: Reading the defensive body shape and being prepared will allow the GK to position themselves more efficiently to make more saves
Activity 2
Small-Sided Activity
7v7 to 1 Large Goal and 2 Small Goals
Setup: TRAINING AREA = 60W x 55L. Place (1) large goal on the end-line, and (2) small goals on the halfway line. Balls always start with white team in possession from the midline. White scores on large goal, red scores on small goals.
Goal: White team starts from the midline in possession and attacks the large goal. Red team attacks the 2 small goals on the halfway line. A point is scored by shooting or passing the ball into your team's target goals.

Goal: Both teams try to score on the large goal at their attacking end. White (8 players) attacks the red team (9 players). Score by shooting or passing the ball into the goal.
Coaching Points
- What: Reading the angle & shape of the #10,7,11, 6 and positioning the back 4 accordingly
- Who: GK
- When: The moment white is in possession
- Why: Organizing the back 4 based on the highest defenders will help to prevent shots from coming on goal, and allow for better anticipation of the penetration balls from the opposition
