  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players

Setup

• 2 goals (with goalkeepers)
• 10 cones
• 7 field players
• Size of field depends on age and number of players available

Procedure

Two teams will play a 3v3 game with one neutral player that is always part of the team in possession.

The neutral player cannot be attacked by the other players but to keep the intensity high, it would be good if he would be limited to 2-3 touches.

The other six field players have 3 touches (2 touches also possible).

Tip

Coaching Points:

• Use the additional player (+1) for quick passing combinations
• Defending team: Stay tight and block passing lanes (spaces in behind)
