Soccer Exercise
Building Up Play Through the Back Three
- Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Progression, Main point
- Number of Players 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Half a pitch without any further markings.
Equipment: Several balls; dummies if desired.
Players: The players are organised in a 3-5-2 formation.
Procedure
- The players first circulate the ball on their own in the 3-5-2 formation.
- Step by step the drill is supplemented with set solutions.
Variations:
- The holding midfielders position themselves wide so that the centre opens up. The centre-back plays the ball to the number ten, who lays it off to the holding midfielder.
- The striker comes towards the ball slightly and lays it off to the near-side holding midfielder; the full-back runs forward.
- Add dummies to the drill to represent an opponent with two strikers.
Tip
- In the second variation the holding midfielders position themselves more centrally rather than in the half-space, so as not to block the passing lane from the centre-back to the striker.
- Play the forward pass with enough pace.
