– Player tries to tag a designated player within the triangle (cannot go through triangle, must go around),
– The triangle can move and spin around to avoid the player,

3V1 HANDS

With ball in Hands

Play 3v1
Play for 30-40 seconds with on of the players in the middle defending. Defender should count the number of times that they intercept and you coach gives a penalty for each interception at the end of the time (i.e. donkey-kicks, push ups, etc.)

1. Ball must be rolled.
2. Ball must be bounced.
3. Ball must be thrown with no bounces.

What to look for:
1. Players flattening out on both sides. Making sure they can all see each other at all times.
2. Use of short passes (with original passer following in order to quickly play a 2v1, then playing out to the third player).
3. Use of fake pass or step in one direction then pass to the other direction.

Give players THREE seconds maximum with the ball in their hands.

1. Open Touch
2. Two Touch
3. One Touch for groups with the competencies

What to look for:

1. Players flattening out on both sides. Making sure they can all see each other at all times.

3v2 (2v2+N) TRANSITION FOR ATTACKING FOCUS

The player on the ball requires:
1. Teammate in front of the opposition to help them keep possession.
2. Teammate behind the opposition to help them get behind (penetrate).

Attacking balance. If player passes the ball then runs behind, the player who is behind must ‘visually’ recognize this and fill in the space in front of the opposition in order to keep balance.

3v3 TRANSITION FOR ATTACKING FOCUS

The player on the ball requires:
1. Teammate in front of the opposition to help them keep possession.
2. Teammate behind the opposition to help them get behind (penetrate).

Attacking balance. If player passes the ball then runs behind, the player who is behind must ‘visually’ recognize this and fill in the space in front of the opposition in order to keep balance.

FINAL GAME

Encourage:
Movement in behind and movement to support in front of opposition.

Challenge
** after playing a pass you must become the farthest player forward – this w ill force them to leave space and then to fill spaces ‘visually’ so they maintain balance of players behind and players in front…moving toward 360 support.
