Attacking, Defending - U5, U6, U8 - Mad House

Divide the team into two equal groups. Place each group on opposite goal lines, with each player in one of the groups having a soccer ball.


When the coach yells “go”, the group with the balls is on the attack and the other group defends. Points are scored by shooting the ball into the goal at the opposite end of the field. If a player in the defending group gets possession of a ball, she goes on the attack and tries to score in the other teams’ goal. The group that scores the most goals wins.


Note that when a player has scored her ball, she should help the rest of her teammates score. Players without balls should get open for passes, or defend the goal. Play without boundaries so the only time a ball is out of play is when it is in a goal.
