Coerver Exercise
Warm Up Activity 2
Passing/Receiving Exercise
Activity 1
Area: 30 x 10 with two
halves of 10 x 15.
Two teams of 6 players. Red
players are in their half
trying to keep possession.
White sends in two players
to defend. If they can win
the ball they try to pass it to
their teammates in their
half. If they knock the ball
out of bounds, then the
coach plays a ball into the
white half. White tries to
keep possession and two red
players defend.
Coaching points: quick
transition from offense to
defense and vice versa.
Activity 2
Area: width of the penalty
box x 45.
Goal + keeper.
The attacking teams dribbles
towards the big goal. The
defending team stays behind
the ‘confrontation’ line. If
they win the ball they try to
score on one of the two
small goals. If the defending
team gets scored on they
stay. Otherwise the attacking
team becomes the
defending team.
Coaching points: Stay
compact defensively. Be
patient. When you win the
ball transition with speed.
Activity 3
Area: Half field.
Goals + keepers.
Create a mid-line. The team
that is not in possession
must have every player in
their own half.
Coaching points: Drop back
as a team. Keep spaces
tight. When you win the
ball look for the spaces to
attack. Make right
decisions. Forward if
possible, keep the ball if
necessary.
