Organization:

Set up three groups of attackers and two groups of defenders. Pass from central player to flank player. 3v1 starts. Attackers try to score a goal, defenders try to win the ball and score on two small goals. Rotate players in different roles.

Progression: Add a second defender to make it 3v2.

Coaching Points:

Defending

• 1st defender - Immediate pressure on the flank player.

• 2nd defender - Run towards the first post and protect the center.

Attacking

• Movement in front of the goal.

• Central attacker to first post.

• 2nd attacker to penalty spot.

• Winger - Cross the ball to the penalty spot area. Away from the goalie.
