3v1 Possession in Triangle (20 mins)

Progressions:

  • Team with the most consecutive, connected passes wins.

  • “2 strikes”-Defenders can knock the ball out twice (or the team in possession kicks it out twice) and possession changes to the other grid.

  • Counter goals on each end of the grid for the defenders to be able to find quick transition goals.

Attacking Coaching Points:

  • Players in position need to be constantly moving laterally to get into passing angles.

  • Players should take as few touches as possible to move the ball.

  • Look for splits (between the 2 defenders) and where to play away from pressure.

Defending Coaching Points:

  • Nearest defender sets immediate pressure on the ball, making it predictable which way they are forcing the play.

  • Supporting defender should be slightly shaded to the side the pressuring player is forcing the play but not so much that they open a gap to get split.

  • Supporting player pressures the next pass and forces the play back into his/her teammate.

  • Constant pressure/cover/pressure/cover.

  • Two defenders should be highly active and communicating throughout.

  • Win the ball back and try to connect a pass across the grid to teammates (or score in a counter goal).
