3v2 Wave Game

Organisation

  • Play starts with an attacker combining with a defender (1–2).
  • The attackers then break quickly to create a 3v2 towards the opposite goal.
  • Once the first attack is complete, the next wave begins immediately.
  • If numbers allow, defenders stay in; if not, attacks can be unopposed but must be performed at speed.

Coaching Points

  • Timing & Movement: Key to creating scoring opportunities.
  • Speed of Play: Must be at match intensity for realism and flow.
  • Decision Making: Quick, positive actions in attacking moments.
  • Defending Unit:
    • Communicate constantly
    • Stay compact
    • Show attackers outside
    • Prevent cut-backs and central combinations

Progression

  • Introduce a wide channel for one attacker.
  • Ball is played into the channel for a first-time cross.
  • Focus on:
    • Quality/weight of pass
    • Timing of runs into the box
