This small area game is loads of fun and keeps them moving. The invasion game teaches both individual and group tactics and implicitly reinforces stable skating position, the base of support and fundamental building blocks (stability, balance, body position, agility, coordination and spatial awareness). Add rules for variations like, pass number and direction, indirect passing/shooting etc. A "penalty area" using stationary closed-ended skills establishes added skill work and creates odd player situations to create even more teachable moments for your team.
