Organization:

Field of 18Y wide and 12Y long, with three small goals on each endline. 

Make two groups and play 3v3 whereby the game starts with all players standing in front of a small goal and a pass from a defender to an attacker. 

When the ball goes over the sideline, dribble or pass the ball back in. 

The turn is over when a goal is scored, or the ball goes over the endline. 

Variations: Score by dribbling the ball through gates. 

Game: Play two times 5 minutes and keep track of the score. 

FOCUS POINTS

Attackers:

• Keep the field wide. 
• Make the right choice; go for the 1v1 and beat your opponent or pass the ball. 
• Runs to create space or to get behind the defense. 
• Keep ball possession. 
• Score.

Defenders:

• Role of first, second and third defender.
• First defender, closest to attacker with the ball, pressures the ball.
• Second defender gives cover to the first defender but is close enough to the second attacker to pressure the ball immediately when they receive the ball. 
• Third defender covers the second defender and creates balance. 

Transition:

• After losing the ball, win it back as quickly as possible. 5-Second Rule. 
• After winning the ball, explode and try to score as quickly as possible.
