How it's set up
This practice is conducted within a 50 by 45-yard area, featuring a 3 v 3 setup with attackers (Blue) competing against defenders (Gold). To begin the exercise, the coach plays a pass to either wide player within the designated 8-yard receiving zone, triggering the 3 v 3 scenario. The objective is for the attacking 3 to combine, penetrate and finish past the GK. If the defending team regains possession at any point, they must quickly transition and counterattack, looking to finish in either of the mini goals. The coach, positioned at the base of the pitch, initiates play with each restart.
Key coaching points
- Dynamic Movement & Positioning – Effective rotations and positioning to receive in space.
- Decision-Making – When to drive inside and when to pass or dribble depending on the scenario.
