Description

3vs1 play must be seen as a game and not as a drill, exercise or an activity to keep players busy. 3vs1 allows players to become comfortable on the ball with minimal pressure to make decisions. Each touch on the ball encourages players to make decisions because each time it is a different problem to solve as there is pressure from the defender.
