Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Teampractice 20: Creating your space to receive the ball (Start Time: 2018-10-23 18:00:00)

3 vs 1 - Keep away (20 mins)

Organization:

Make four squares of 6x6 feet. Set up the drill twice.

Instructions:

Three players are standing in a box and there will be one defender in the field. The players in the box are allowed to moved to a different box but there can be only one player in one box. The players have to make a triangle every single time with eachother so the player on the ball has 2 options to pass to. At the moment the defender cuts one passingline off the player with the ball is able to pass the ball to the other player.

By 5 passes the attacking team gets a point. If the defender steels the ball he get's a point. Player 1 starts with ball and after the game players rotate positions 1 will be 2, 2 will be 3, 3 will be 4. (by 9 or 10 players one player will sit out).

Coaching Points:

- Make a triangle (the opposite site from where the ball is have to move to the open square).

- Controll the ball with your far foot

- Body position (open up your hips)

- Pass the ball to the open passing lane

Instructions:

Three players of one team are starting on the left and right side of the small goal and one in center of the field the other one is starting on the other side of the field. There will be one defender who starts on the half from the three attacking players and one will defend the striker.

The players with ball have to try to reach the striker on the other half by passing the ball over the half way line. If the strikers has the ball all players can use the whole field and try to score on the big goal. If the defender steels the ball he can try to score on the small goal.
