3v3s (15 mins)

Coach plays ball to either side. 

  •  Play 3v3 - Protect (Press Cover Balance)
  •  If ball enters "Press corner", - press ball, deny passing lanes
  •  On any backward pass - press ball, deny passing lanes
  •  When attacker turns or looks down, press ball, deny passing lanes.

CPs: Communicate when to press (all three OP). If High Press is beaten, must recover quickly. Encourage creative play by attackers to beat the high press (get to space behind defenders).

Conditioned Game (15 mins)

Conditioned Game

Players play a normal game 3v3 (2v2 if numbers dont allow).  Whatever half the ball goes out of bounds (or a goal) this will start a new wave of players coming on i.e. if the red team score, the 3 blue players would exit the field and the new 3 blue players would come on.  The same would happen if a ball went out of bounds in that specific half.  Play 5 minutes keeping score for 1 point a goal.

Progression

  • If possible add a Neutral player into the game to create an overload situation for the team defending.
Coaching Points
  • Consider the roles of the 3 players defending.
  • How can we make play predictable? How can you force the play to where you want?
  • Get close to the attackers on the flight of the ball, stay locked in.
  • As soon as there is a transition moment - PRESS.
