3v3 Small-Sided Game
Objective:

Apply attacking concepts in a realistic, game-like situation, with a focus on team play.
Setup:

Set up a small-sided field (20x15 meters) with two goals. Teams of three attack and defend against each other. Encourage passing, movement, and using the width of the field. Add a rule where a goal only counts if all players on the attacking
team touch the ball in the build-up play.
Progression:

Limit the number of touches or introduce a time constraint for scoring to
encourage quicker decisions.
