Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Group Attacking - 3v3s (Create the Attack)

3v3+3+3 - Possession (15 mins)

Organization:

Create attack 3v3 + 1v1 x4

central players play 3v3 with use of support from outside players.

Team who connects 4-5 passes = 1pt

Players should look to play 2-3 touch max

Progressions:

-Interchange with outside player if players connect out and back into square

-Too difficult/low success??? Have outside players shadow mark but cannot tackle

-Outside must play back to a different player of the same team that passed to them originally. 

-Players successfully play into middle player and different outside player = 2 pts

Coaching Points:

Angles of support

Communication for release/direction

1st touch direction

Body shape

Passing technique (weight, shape, timing and angle of release)

3rd man support

speed of play

3+3 vs 3+3 to goal (20 mins)

Organization:

3v3+3 bumpers on one side with three bumpers on the attacking half

Blue vs Red

No Gks? 1st touch finish or small counter goals...

Teams must build into one of the bumpers in the attacking half

Bumper players are limited to one-two touch for an assist-support possession

First team to score (one - three) goals wins and stays on, losers must rotate with bumpers

Odd Numbers - 2 bumpers and a floating Bumper/Neutral in the field

Must be at least one diagonal/curved run into attacking half for any goal to stand

Coaching Points: 

Overloads in attacking half

exploit space early

3rd man movement

Progressions: 

all three central players must combine before goal is score or after every transition

Interchange after connecting with bumper (bumper enters field on 1st touch)
