Soccer Exercise
6 plus 1 vs 3
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Progression
- Number of Players 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Four cones mark out the playing area.
Equipment: 4 cones and several balls.
Players: Of the team in possession, six players stand on the edge of the area and one player in the middle; three players defend.
Procedure
- The aim of the drill is to pass to the team-mate in the middle as often as possible.
- The defenders' task is to win the ball and clear it out of play.
- After five losses of possession the players change positions.
Tip
- Shift across towards the ball as a compact unit.
- Wait for the right moment to put pressure on the ball — for example after a poor first touch or when the opponent is in the corner.
- To steer play, one player puts the central player in the cover shadow, one player steers in one direction and one player closes off the side that play is being steered into.
