Soccer Exercise
5 vs 3 + Wide Forwards
- Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: There is one goal on the goal line.
Equipment: 1 goal, at least 5 bibs and several balls.
Players: A goalkeeper goes in goal. Two teams of five are formed — Red and Blue. The five red players go into the semicircle at the halfway line together with three blue players. Of the two remaining blue players, one lines up on the left touchline and the other on the right touchline, on the halfway line.
Procedure
- In the semicircle the red team plays 5 vs 3 against the blue team. The red players have two touches, the blue players try to win the ball.
- If the blue players win the ball, they pass it immediately towards the goal into the path of one of the two blue wide forwards.
- As soon as the pass has been played, the players from the semicircle join the attack: the three blue players become attackers, the red team becomes the defending team. The second winger joins in as well, so that 5 vs 5 is played.
- After a certain time Team Red and Team Blue swap positions.
Tip
- The three players in the minority in the semicircle become attacking players immediately on winning the ball.
- The pass is played firmly towards the corner of the penalty area.
- The wide players stay focused and look for the quickest route to goal.
- The players in possession in the semicircle control the ball and always have a central passing option in the middle.
- On losing possession they sprint back to the goal immediately and try to stop the attack.
