Lesson 14:
3v2 INTO A 4V3 WAVE GAME (PART 1)
The objective of this practice is to develop attacking skills and encourage quick counter-attacks. The session involves two teams, Team A and Team B, with Team A starting with the ball from their goalkeeper. The practice progresses as follows:
ATTACKING
Team A aims to play out from the back and score into one of the mini-goals.
If they successfully score, they restart with the ball and continue the attacking phase.
If Team A misses the target goals, two players from Team B waiting on the outside join in to initiate a 4v3 counter-attack
COUNTER ATTACKING
Team B, after winning possession or intercepting a missed attempt, immediately transitions into a counter-attack to score in the goal guarded by the goalkeeper.
Team A may have recovering defenders behind the waiting attackers to provide support and increase the speed of the counter-attack.
Throughout the practice, players from both teams have the opportunity to rotate positions, allowing them to develop a comprehensive understanding of both attacking and defensive roles. The session promotes quick decision-making, precise execution, and effective transitions in order to score goals. Adapt the practice according to the number of players and desired level of challenge.
