Set Up:

The drill begins in front of the first goal with the attackers changing the ball from Player 1 to 2 to 3. The attack concludes with a cross and finish by Player 1. After striking the cross, Player 3 picks up a ball from beside the first goal and attacks the second goal with the dribble. The three attackers and defenders (Players 4, 5, and 6) enter the field with the first dribble touch and play to completion from there. Upon completion of the 4v3, the attackers rotate from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to 1 and become defenders as the other team begins the next sequence on goal.

Coaching Points:

1.  Receiving – Open up with yopur first touch and switch the field.

2.  Speed of Attack – Dribble at speed and force the defense into a poor decision.

3.  Width – Stay wide as the defense compresses into the center and create 1v1’s for yourself.

Progressions/Regressions:

1.  Call out numbers with the 2nd attack, creating 1v1’s, 2v1’s, 3v2’s, or 4v3’s.
