Soccer Drill Diagram
Setup:
Create two 10 x 10 yard adjacent grids. Start with 3 attackers and 2 defenders in an alternate jersey. Have 2 attackers and 1 defender in one grid, and 1 attacker and 1 defender in the adjacent grid.
Instructions:
The attackers in the 2v1 grid control the ball against the single defender. While the attacker in the 1v1 grid is making runs to get free from the defender. The attacker in the 2v1 grid who passes the ball to the 1v1 attacker follows the pass into the grid and creates a new 2v1 in that grid. The play repeats. If the defenders win the ball, they should attempt to hold possession from the attackers.
Variations:
* Enlarge the grids and increase the number of players.
* 3v2 and 2v2
* 4v3 and 3v3
Coaching Points:
* Focus on proper passing, receiving and possession.
* Make sure attackers are creating space to exploit when the time is right.
