Player A starts with the ball. About 7 meters in front of player A, place the defender D. Create a weaving path side to the side near the goal using the 4 markers. Defender E stays at the beginning of the path. The goalkeeper defends the goal.

Description

  • The exercise starts with a rapid series of passes between the players A, B and C
    1. A passes to B
    2. B passes back to A
    3. A passes to C
    4. C passes back to A
    5. A passes to defender D in front of him
    6. Defender D passes back to A while defender E starts running through the weaving path.

  2. Player A performs an oriented control towards the free teammate (B in the figure) and together with B and the other teammate (C) moves to attack the goal 3 vs 2

 

 

  • After each action the three strikers swap their starting positions

Coaching Points

  • The striker A with the ball has always to choose rapidly the best solution to create effective actions
  • Don't stay on the same line to ensure balance
  • Give always 2 options to the ball carrier
  • Rapidity and cooperation with movements with or without the ball
  • Players after passing have to move offering to receive the ball again
  • Give priority to passes forwards or in the same line in order to gain space
  • Stay put only for a tactical reason
  • The 2 players without the ball can change position vertically or horizontally
