5 vs. 3 in Constant Rotation

- The focus of this game format is on quick transition from defence to attack as well as training numerical superiority/inferiority situations. - On offence, constant movement, communication, and fast, precise passing are required. A staggered depth in the 1-2-2 formation must be maintained, avoiding movement on one line (depth staggering means creating passing options). - The defenders always act as a unit and must not get too far apart. - The goal for the defenders is either to win possession or to force the ball carrier into a non-dangerous area to the side and block his passing lane toward goal/to teammates by double-teaming. - The task of the ball-near defender is to press the ball carrier. The other two defenders secure the space behind (defensive triangle). - The players' running paths are forward toward the ball and back, as well as shifting left and right. - Through passes into the depth to the strikers force the defensive line into forward movement. Continuing to switch the ball forces the defensive line to shift forward and sideways. This creates spaces in depth for the attacking team, as well as the opportunity to play a diagonal ball to the open side. - The players in the back must not push too close to the front players and should maintain 20-25 metres distance to the attackers so they always have the play in front of them and can run onto balls to quickly play them on with one touch. - 3 cones, 1 full-size goal(s)
