Soccer Drill Diagram
Setup:
Set up a 30 X 30 grid with one side playing to goal. Coach assigns 3 defenders who wear an alternate jersey. The attackers begin with the ball. A keeper should be defending the goal
Instructions:
Instruct the players to exploit their numerical advantage and finish with a shot on goal. Attackers should move the ball looking for the open player and holes in the defense. The defenders should attempt to break-down the attack and will gain experience in how to cover a one-down situation. Defensive players should complete a pass to the coach to end the attack. The coach should then give the ball back to the attackers to build the attack again.
Variations:
* Increase the number of attackers (or decrease the number of defenders) if scoring chances are infrequent.
* increase the number of defenders (or decrease the number of attackers) if scoring chances are too frequent
Coaching Points:
Offensive:
* iQuickly switch the point of attack to off-balance the defense.
* Play quick both physically (1 and 2 touch) and mentally (think ahead).
* Make sure the players are attacking at the appropriate times Defensive:
* Contain the play and keep the ball in front of the defense.
* Early pressure and do not allow space behind the defenders.
