for this heading,
defending and shooting drill
Animal ball is a
game that works on aggressiveness, winning balls in the air, passing,
defending and finishing. It can be done with as few as 8 players or as
many as 18.
The field should be approximately 30
yards long and the width of the 18-yard box (44 yards wide). A full sized
goal is on each end line with a keeper in each goal. There are two teams
on the field. A server starts out wide and serves balls into the playing
area in the air. Whichever team wins the ball tries to score by shooting
into EITHER goal. This means you have two teams trying to win the ball in
the air, and get a shot hit as quickly as possible. If the first team that
wins the ball then loses it to the second team the second team then tries
to score in either goal.
Animal ball works on winning the ball in the air (if a team doesn't like
to win balls in the air you can put in a requirement that if the ball hits
the ground from the initial serve without a player touching it first, it
is a "dead ball" and a new ball gets served in it's place) and getting to
goal quickly. While there is some passing in this game, it's more about
the willingness to take a chance and shoot rather than passing the ball
around till the perfect opportunity arises for a shot. This game is more
about finishing than it is about shooting (when you work on shooting you
frequently work on proper technique and placement of the plant foot etc
but when you work on finishing it's frequently a case of being willing to
put any part of the body on the ball to get it on goal).
First team to score 10 goals in Animal Ball wins the game.
