3 vs 1 in 3 Areas

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

Pitch: Eight cones form three squares.

Equipment: 8 cones and several balls.

Players: One attacker per square, who may not leave that area, plus one defender.

Procedure

  • The defender tries to tempt the attackers into a passing error through clever pressing, or to intercept the ball.
  • If there is a mistake — for example a ball out of play or an intercepted ball — the player who caused the mistake moves into the middle.

Tip

  • Keep getting out of the cover shadow.
  • Do not show for the ball on the same line as the team-mate, but instead offer the player in possession two passing options at all times.
  • Operate with few touches.
