3 vs 2 with an Opponent Behind

Pitch: Mark out an area of about 20 x 15 metres with cones; two further cones mark the halfway line on the sides. On the shorter sides there are one mini goal and one dribbling goal made of two flat markers each, with the two mini goals lying diagonally opposite each other.

Equipment: 6 cones, 4 flat markers for the dribbling goals, 2 mini goals, bibs in two colours, balls.

Players: Two teams, so that a 3 vs 2 is created. From the team of three one player stands with the ball on the goal line, a second waits outside the playing area level with the halfway line, the third stands in the opposition half. The two players of the team of two stand in their own half.

• The player of the team of three from the opposition half starts the round by running into the team's own half and demanding the pass from the team-mate.
• As soon as this player enters the team's own half, the two defenders may also enter that half, and the waiting player may set off into the playing area. The playing area may only be entered behind the opposition goals.
• The team of three now tries to score in the 3 vs 2 through the dribbling goal or the mini goal.
• The team of two tries to prevent this and to score in the opposite goals itself.
• The first pass may only be played once the free player has entered the team's own half.
• After that the players rotate and a new round starts.

Progression:

• Limit the number of touches.
• Set a time limit.
