Stop the Turner


Field size: 30 by 10 yards
Number of players: Four players with two players in the middle
Age range: 14-16

Description: Play for 2 minutes.  One player tries to turn and play the ball to the one of the target players as many times as possible.  Keep track of how many times the central attacker connects with each target player.  If the player gets into a rhythm he can beat the player more easily simply by turning and opening up before the defender is ready.  With a half turn the player can clip the ball into the target player.  Target players have to be ready to play one and two touch soccer.  Offensive player should call for the ball when they’re checking back for the ball and then move away from the player who is serving in the ball to create some space.  So it’s run away, and then back towards the server to receive the ball.
