Progression: exercises on a 30x30 meters square

Goal:

Summary

Progressive exercises on a 30x30 meters square divided into zones

Description

Progression with a 3 vs 3 situation to improve technical ball circulation and positive transitions.
 
ANALYTICAL DRILL 3 vs 0
  • 3 players inside each 15x15 meters zone
  • Continuous research for game combinations with cones as reference points. The objective is to pass the ball to a teammate moving towards the next cone and next attacking the space towards a different reference point.

 

Figure 1

 

Variations:
  1. Game combinations in restricted space with a teammate attacking the central zone continuously
  2. Wide game combinations moving mainly on 4 external reference points
 
SITUATIONAL DRILL 3 vs 1
  • 3 vs 1 situation inside the green and yellow squares (figure 2) between the red team (ball possession) and the yellow one
  • The yellow defender, once regained the ball, has to pass it to the teammates on the opposite square and move there; one red player moves too and acts as defender, so the 3 vs 1 situation is recreated 

 

Figure 2

 

SITUATIONAL DRILL 3 vs 2 with 1 neutral player
  • The red team inside the 2 opposite squares (Figure 3) has ball possession and is supported by the purple neutral player 
  • The two yellow players defend and if they regain the ball, they have to carry it inside the nearest zone recreating a 3 vs 2 situation with the neutral player against the red team

THEMED GAME 3 vs 3 + 3
  • Develop a themed game dividing the field into two 30x15 half fields (Figure 4)
  • Inside a half field a 3 vs 3 + 3 situation is developed, with the objective to create an efficient combination to score a goal
  • If the defending team regains the ball, they have to carry it to the opposite half field recreating a 3 vs 3 situation with 3 neutral players supporting (arranged on the opposite half field)

Coaching Points

  • Perform all the exercises with maximum concentration using individual technical abilities
  • When carrying the ball, ball touches must be precise and controlled 
  • Passes must be precise, controlling strenght and precision
  • Focus on players coordination skills, movements during technical gestures must be fluid and regular
  • Give importance to technical gesture even at the expense of speed
  • Push competitiveness in the themed game only after players have learned tactical objectives
