Getting the ball down the field (U10 - High School)

Comment:Practice getting the ball to the forwards.
Drill/Game:This is a good drill to get your team to get the ball down the field for a breakaway or 1 on 1 situation. Have 2 players, one defender and one forward on each half of the field. Starting on either end, the goal is for the 2 offensive players to get the ball past the defender and to the forward. They get 1 point for each successful pass. If the defender gets the ball, he gets one point and tries to get the ball to the two offensive players on the other end of the field. It's fun, once they get the hang of it.
