Set Up:
-
Play in a 25 x 25 yd. grid.
-
Two teams of three players work to find the target player on opposite end of field. The neutral in the center is always an attacker.
-
The teams always attack in the same direction. The teams score by passing to the target on outside of field, who has two touches to pass it back to an attacker. That attacker must then dribble over the end line.
-
Progression - Allow back passes to the neutral on your own endline to help keep possession.
Coaching Points:
-
Width/depth/mobility in attack for more possession and penetration.
-
Finding defensive shape and applying pressure on the ball quickly when possession is lost. Get the attacker’s head down immediately.
-
Communication on attack and defense to organize quickly.
