Set Up:
The three teams play 3v3 plus two on the small field. The two neutral players must stay inside of the flank zones during play. Defensive players must wait inside of their own half and they cannot play the ball until it crosses the midfield line. As soon as the defending team gets a touch, the attack is over and team goes off. They may not try to re-possess. After the defending team wins the ball, they attack in the opposite direction as a new team comes on to defend. During the game, each team keeps track of their goal total.
Coaching Points:
1. Speed of Play – Play one and two touch soccer and force the defenders to chase.
2. Switching the Field – Change the ball from sideline to sideline to create 1 v 1’s and scoring chances.
3. Movement – Make runs deep into the attacking half and stretch the field.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Limit the number of passes made in the attacking half.
Progression 2 – Allow the defenders to cross over the midline, allow attackers to re-possess.
