Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 3v2 Wave Practice with transition to attack and defend

Screen 1 (20 mins)

Method:

• A 3v2 wave drill working on attacking and defending transitions.
  
• 2 red defenders in each grid. 1 blue attacker in each grid.
• 2 blue attackers at each end line of both grids with footballs. Coach on the halfway line with spare footballs.
• The blues start the practice from behind the end line of grid B and dribble with a ball into grid A to join up with the other 2 blue attackers to form a 3v2.
• They try and work an opportunity to score, they have ten seconds to score. When the 10 seconds are up the coach feeds in a second ball and they have a second go at 3v2 with ten seconds on the clock.
• Once that play is over then the the 2 blue attackers from behind the line at grid A dribble down , join the other 2 blue attackers and attack the goal 3v2 in grid B. Same rules apply.
• Alternate the blue players every few minutes.

Coaching Points:

• Look to try to create an overload each time starting with 3v2.
  
• Look to create 2v1s in areas out wide.
• Try make the pitch as big and wide as possible.
• Quick decision making, good communication.
