Setup
Pitch: Cones mark out the playing area; there is a goal at each end.
Equipment: 2 goals, cones and several balls.
Players: Two teams and two goalkeepers.
Procedure
- The game is always played 3 vs 2 with a goalkeeper in one half.
- The players have to stay in their half.
- If the defence wins the ball, it tries to play the ball quickly to the three attackers.
- After the finish, free play towards the attack follows.
- The tasks are changed in blocks after a maximum of five minutes, or continuously for individual players.
Tip
- The defence closes down the opponent with cover and switches quickly after winning the ball.
- If the ball is with a wide player, the defender nearest the ball pushes across, the defender furthest from the ball provides cover with a staggered position in depth.
- If the ball is with the central player, the defenders act on the same line.
- Watch out for the distance between the defenders.
- Gain time.
- Isolate the wide player in a 1 vs 1 and force a finish from a poor angle.
