3v3 Plus One, #1
3v3 Plus One, #1
Set Up:
There are fifteen players set up in the attacking third, playing 1v1 plus one in the flank zones, 1v1 inside of the penalty area, and 3v3 plus one in the central zone. The Feeder begins play with a pass into the central zone (marked by blue cones). From there, the attack moves to a flank zone and then into the penalty area for a finish on goal. When the ball is played into a flank zone, the players in the opposite flank zone can enter the penalty area, creating a 2v2 plus one. When the defense wins the ball, it has to be returned to the central zone before attacking the goal.
Coaching Points:
1. Hold the run and/or check away from the ball until the attacker is ready to pass.
2. Look for one and two touch passes from one zone to the other.
3. Use the entire zone and force the defenders to chase the ball.
Progressions:
1. Allow direct passes from the central zone into the penalty area.
