Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Fall - Stage 2 - Week 9 - 3v2 / 3v3

Screen 2

Split the players in teams of 3. Each team of 3 will take a half of the field. A third team will be outside playing defense and will send a player in the field where the ball is. Team in possession needs to create passing lines, constantly moving and supporting the team mate and needs to make 3(5,7,10) passes before transfer the ball to the opposite half. When they do it, they get a point. When the ball change from fields, a new defender from outside needs to step in. Defense team, if they recover, they can try to score in any of the small goals (+3 points) or find an outside pass to the team mates (+1). Players play by time (1,2 min each round). After a time, switch roles.

Progression: now, defense team sends 2 defenders in the each half, making harder for the team in possession. Game works the same way.

*if you have more players, you can do a 4th team and have every round one team as bumpers.

* if you dont have the small goals, you can do and end zone where the players need to dribble in to get a point for the team.

Coaching points:

• be an option; be ready to play
• move to make an angle to your team mate
• keep the ball away from pressure
• good body angle to keep the ball move
• scan the field before receiving the ball, then you will know where are your team mates
