Watch as Coach Tony Bowles explains and shows practice video of the 9-Ball Attacking Game. The drill's grid is the 18, where the players have 9 soccer balls: 3 in each corner and 3 at the top of the 18. The drill has 3 attackers, 2 defenders, and a keeper. The drill is timed (1 minute and 15 seconds) and the attackers must score as many goals as they can. This is a speed game with the focus on communication.
