Visual 3 vs 3 + 1 with Coerver

Pitch: Mark out an area of 20 x 20 metres with four cones. Around the centre 4 dribbling goals made of flat markers are set up, two each in the same colour and diagonally opposite each other. A mini goal stands in the centre of each side of the area.

Equipment: 4 cones, 8 flat markers in two colours for the 4 dribbling goals, 4 mini goals, bibs in several colours, balls.

Players: Two teams play inside the area, plus a neutral player in a separate bib colour. Outside the area 4 players move with a ball; with smaller groups 2 are enough. Their bibs are in the same two colours as the dribbling goals.

• The two teams play against each other inside the area; the neutral player acts only for the team in possession.
• The players outside the area perform Coerver exercises and move around the area in a circle as they do so, each occupying one side.
• The aim of the players inside the area is to get through one of the dribbling goals.
• Once a dribbling goal has been passed through, a finish may be taken on the mini goal on the side where an outside player in the colour of the goal played through is standing at that moment.
• The roles are changed regularly.
