Setup:
Designate 2-3 defenders in red to rotate 1 at a time every 2-3 attacks. Have the keeper be in goal with the remaining players form 3 lines (left, center, right) approximately 20-25 yards from the goal. The ball should start with the center player.
Instructions:
The center player starts with the ball and 1 player from each group attacks the defender (playing 3v1). The attackers should string together quick accurate passes to off balance the defender and keeper and attempt to score. Defenders should rotate after 2-3 attacks.
Variations:
Limit touches to 1 or 2 touch
* Add a 2nd defender
Coaching Points:
* Make sure passes are quick and to feet
* Find back-side player to off balance the defenders
* Be patient and if the attackers get in trouble, they should knock it back to the center player to swing the play in the other direction
* Play QUICK. If the play is too slow, the ball is considered dead and the next group begins.
* Outside attackers should attempt to draw the defender and keeper into them, and slide the ball backside to the open player.
Focus:
Technical Passing, Technical Shooting, Technical Receiving, Tactical Attacking, Tactical Support, Tactical Possession, Tactical Switching Point of Attack, Tactical Role of Striker
