- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Progression, Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players
Setup
The three blue defenders A, B, and C move from the basic formation of the back three (in a line) to the end position shown in the diagram. The ball is with player D.
Procedure
Player D passes the ball diagonally to the left. The players start from the basic formation and shift into the end formation shown in the diagram. In detail, player C shifts toward the ball and stops it, B tucks in laterally behind C, and A shifts laterally behind B. After each repetition, the players return to the basic formation and the sequence starts again.
Tip
- This is a walkthrough exercise without tackles. It serves exclusively to practise the running paths. - In the basic formation, the players stand in a line. The lateral distances between players are 7-12 m. When the players tuck in with depth offset, the depth distances are approximately 5 metres; the lateral distance remains the same. - Player C runs at maximum speed toward the ball. The other two defenders constantly maintain their distances. - The exercise should be trained with as many repetitions as possible (automating the movement pattern). - The trigger signal for initiating the running paths is the backswing of the passer.
