7v7 Plus Three
7v7 Plus Three
Set Up:
There are 19 players set up on a full field, playing 7v7 plus three, with goalkeepers. During the game, the defenders play in a 4-3 formation, and the attacking team can play with whatever formation they choose. When a goal is scored or a ball is put out of play, it is re-started by the GK. The neutral attackers switch out every ten minutes, and with each switch, the attacking team changes to a different formation
Coaching Points:
1. Play one and two touch soccer, moving the ball faster than the defenders can recover.
2. Anticipate changes of possession and attack with superior numbers.
3. Maintain possession until a good opportunity to attack materializes. Don’t force it.
Progressions:
1. Limit the attacking team to two touches.
