6 vs. 6 Free Channels<br />
Purpose<br />
To develop accuracy in crossing<br />
Organization<br />
Set out a 60-by-40-yard area with goals (5 yards wide) and a goalkeeper on both endlines. Use discs to create 5-<br />
yard sideline channels on both sides <strong>of</strong> the area. Play 5 vs. 5 inside the area. One ball per practice.<br />
Game Objective<br />
Teammates combine to maintain possession <strong>of</strong> the ball inside the area. The object is to dribble into the channel or<br />
pass the ball to a teammate in the channel. Once in the channel, players have 10 seconds to dribble up field, unopposed<br />
by a defender, and cross the ball into the area in front <strong>of</strong> goal. If a player does not play the ball back into the<br />
area within 10 seconds, the opposition team is awarded a free kick.<br />
Progressions<br />
1. Allow a defender to enter the channel 5 yards behind where the ball crossed into the channel.<br />
2. Shorten the unopposed time to 5 seconds.<br />
Key Coaching Points<br />
1. Attack the front post, middle, and far post areas in front <strong>of</strong> goal with speed.<br />
2. Make diagonal and looped runs. Avoid straight runs into the area in front <strong>of</strong> goal.<br />
3. Call for the ball. Tell the wide player where you want the ball to be played.<br />
4. Strike the ball low and hard across the goal.<br />
