Lesson 3:
3v2 TO GOAL (PART 3)
This practice focuses on developing attacking and defensive transitions, encouraging quick decision-making and efficient play. Here is the revised session description:
SET UP
The practice begins with a long pass from the goalkeeper (GK) to one of the three attackers (Team A). As soon as an attacker touches the ball, the two defenders (Team B) become active and engage in defending.
OBJECTIVE
The three attackers work together to quickly attack the goal and attempt to score.
If the defenders win the ball, their objective is to pass it into one of the mini goals located at the other end of the playing area.
RESTART
Play always restarts with a long pass from the GK, ensuring consistent and efficient transitions between attacking and defensive phases.
Throughout the session, focus on developing players' ability to transition quickly between attacking and defensive phases. Emphasise effective communication, teamwork, and the ability to exploit open space during fast-paced attacks. By practicing these aspects, players will enhance their decision-making skills, attacking prowess, defensive awareness, and adaptability in various starting scenarios.
Note: Adjust the size of the playing area, the number of players involved, and the difficulty level according to the age and skill level of the participants.
