Three defenders against five attackers

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Main point

Setup

A goalkeeper, three defenders (red) and five attackers (blue) are positioned, as shown in the diagram, on the playing field marked out by cones. The attackers have the ball.

Tip

5 cones, 1 full-court goal(s), - The defenders always act together and must not move too far away from each other.\n- The aim is either to win possession of the ball, or to force the attacker with possession of the ball in a potential goal scoring area out sideways and block the way for a pass towards goal/a teammate by double covering him.\n- The task of the defender nearest to the ball is to press the ball-carrying player. The two other defensive players protect the area at the back (defensive triangle).\n
