Organization:

Area: 20y x 15y

Place three small goals on each endline. The teams start in front of their own goals and play begins with 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.

Variation: Instead of small goals, use gates to dribble through.

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

Focua 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.
