Small Sided Game (1v0-1v1-2v1)

Organization:

Set up as shown. 2 playing areas to split players into two groups if possible.

Instructions:

1. The exercise starts with player A dribbling into the the finishing zone to finish on either counter goal (1v0). Once player A finishes on goal, player A must quickly transition to defend against player B inside the finishing zone to play a (1v1). 

2 Player B drives in quickly into the finishing zone and looks to finish on the large goal once player A finish on the counter goal. Player B has to be very quick to arrive into the finishing zone and also be creative when looking to finish under pressure in a (1v1) situation from inside the finishing zone. If player A wins the ball, player A will look to score in the counter goal.

3. Once the second phase of play is over between player A and player B, player C looks to either combine with player A to play a (2v1) against player B to finish in either counter goal from inside of the finishing zone. Player C can also use player A as a decoy to go solo and finish on goal from inside the finishing zone. If player B wins the ball, player B looks to score in the counter goal.

4. Each phase of play is over once a goal is scored or the ball is gets out of the finishing zone during play.

5. Players rotates anti-clockwise (A-B-C-A) after each round of play.
