Screen 1

2 vs 1 to 3 vs 1 Progression Warm Up

If you have large numbers do on 2 goals

Play 2 vs 12 yard boxes outside the goal. Slightly Inside the 18 and outside.

Red plays 2 vs 1 and one must come back into the free zone to go 2 vs 1.

U9-10 No Offside

U11+ Play that the opposing D is the offside line but cant come into the free zone.

Progressions:

Progression 1: One attacker drops and they go 2 vs 1 (third doesn't join)

Progression 2: Now a defender starts on the middle line and can go on the players touch.

Progression 3: U13 + start with 3 vs 2 in the final 3rd.

Progression 4: Start with 1 in the receiving zone and the other 2 can rotate in.

Coaching Points.

1. Encourage the attacker to create an angle with their first touch.

2. Encourage immediate support to the ball carrier.

3. Open body shape when receiving.

4. Look to draw defenders.

5. Get behind!

6. Support each and every pass.
