How the drill works

One of the two defenders starts the game by passing the ball to one of the three attackers positioned at the cones. Upon receiving the ball, the attackers engage in a 3v2 attacking scenario. Defenders quickly move up towards the attackers, maintaining compactness and readiness to win the ball. Attackers aim to score swiftly, employing various runs to surpass the defenders. (Experiment with various running patterns) If defenders win the ball, their objective is to promptly get it into one of the small goals on each side of the pitch. Attackers earn 1 point for scoring a goal, while defenders earn 2 points for scoring in the small goals. The first team to reach 10 points wins. (Modify the scoring system to suit your team if it appears unfair to either side. Coaches should pay attention to the offside rule during the drill. Encourage players to stay on their toes, maintaining a state of readiness to receive the ball. The drill should be seen as inspiration. So feel free to adapt the drill to suit your team’s specific needs or focus areas.
