Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 3 on 3 in the 18

3 on 3 in the 18 (20 mins)

3 on 3 in the 18

3 teams of 3 are set. 2 teams play 3 vs 3 in the 18 with the 3rd team used as feeders on the outside.

Players on the outside feed the ball to a team to score. Players inside have unlimitted touches, players on the outside have 2 touches and can be used to keep possession.

If a pass is sent to the outside the player on the edge can use 1 touch to shoot and score for the team who fed them the ball. If the ball goes out of play or the keeper catches the ball, the defending team is now on offense. If the defense win the ball, they must pass the ball to the outside to change roles and become the attacking team.
