Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 3v3 touch post

3v3 Touch Post (20 mins)

Field Height around 30 yds, width around 20.

3v3 touch post

Aim of game is quick succession of scoring, combination playing and movement.

GK's must be quick in distributing ball.

Rules

3 players from each team will come onto field, one of the GK's starts with ball.

1. If a goal is scored, that team must send 2 players to touch their own goal posts. Meanwhile the team who conceded must quickly exit the field and 3 new players enter. The GK of the team who scored will play the next ball in.

2. If the ball goes out of bounds, both teams switch off and 3 new players come on. The GK of the team who did not kick ball out of bounds plays new ball in.

3. First team to certain # goals wins or timed drill.

Coaching point:

1. The GK's have a huge part to play in this drill being a hit or miss. They must be zoned in at all times and react/distribute quickly and correctly.

2. Players must constantly be passing and moving, it is such a tight space that they must create it.

3. The trick of the game is once scored a goal, the attacking team's GK plays a new ball straight into the open player who is not running to touch post. This usually means they have chance to take a touch and place the ball before any pressure can be applied by the defensive team who have just switched out their 3 players.
