- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players
Setup
Pitch: Cones form a marker line between the halfway line and the penalty area; there is a goal at each end.
Equipment: 2 goals, cones and several balls.
Players: Three attackers in yellow, two defenders just in front of the penalty area and two more defenders behind them; plus goalkeepers.
Procedure
- The three yellow players start with a ball on the halfway line.
- As soon as the first player has crossed the marker line, two more defenders join in from behind and help to win the ball.
- The attacking players try to get to a finish as quickly as possible.
- The defending players try to counter-attack on the other goal after winning the ball successfully.
Variations: Make the two additional defenders wait longer before they are allowed to join in — for example by counting down from three before they may leave their starting position.
Tip
- The attackers make the game wide.
- They go into the 1 vs 1 quickly in order to get to a finish quickly.
- The defenders defend in the space until they have numerical superiority in the 4 vs 3.
