3v1 Continuous (10 mins)

3V1 Continuous

2 teams (doesn't matter if numbers not even) with 2 goals and 2 GKS

Use 1/8th of pitch, make pitch narrower on the sides (safety zones) and balls behind each baseline

Team of 3 starts from baseline with one ball, Defending team has one player (3v1)

If attacking team score OR the defender gets a touch of the ball, ALL players clear the pitch, except one of the ex-attackers, who now becomes the one defender

3 new blue attackers come on to play against 1 orange defender.

Keep score throughout

Coaching Focus:

ATTACK: Getting ahead of play/ Giving ball into space/ Utilise number advantage/ Lead wide and high/ Get into scoring positions/ Don't carry into conflict

DEFENCE: Work with GK (encourage GK chat here)/ Body position to cut pitch / Just a touch needed to break down play

Conditioned Games to finish- encourage getting ahead of the ball carrier. If a player gives a pass and gets ahead and receives the ball back they win 1 point for their team. Try play half pitch games.
