3v2 Attacking in the final Third (10 mins)

Method:

  • This session focuses on a progressive situational setup.
  • As part of the setup, a 3v2 overload is created by playing the first ball in through a wide zone. 
  • The attacking player's objective is to cross the ball into the attacking players in the box.
  • The defenders will attempt to score in the target goals if they win the ball in any zone.
  • A 3v2 scenario inside the penalty area is created when the 2nd ball is collected and played into the box.
  • Start with Zone 1 creating a 3v2 overload for a cross and the 9/10 must loose markers and try and score from a cross
  • Zone 2 another player plays from the outside and joins the attack
  • Zone 3 the third player outside starts by passing into the zone to create another 3v2 situation, with a cross into the box.
