Playing Through in 3s<br />
Purpose<br />
To develop combination play<br />
Organization<br />
Set out a 30-by-30-yard area with a goal (3 yards wide) on both endlines. Station 3 players on each endline with 1 ball.<br />
Game Objective<br />
Teammates combine to play the ball side to side to advance the ball down the field. A goal is scored when a player<br />
passes the ball through the goal for a teammate to control the ball on the far side <strong>of</strong> the goal line. Teams work in<br />
opposite directions simultaneously. As one team is moving down the area, the other team is moving up the area.<br />
Repeat and then rotate positions.<br />
Progressions<br />
1. Encourage players to loop around each other creating overlapping runs on the flanks.<br />
2. Introduce a third and fourth group <strong>of</strong> 3. As 2 teams move down the area, the other 2 teams move up the area.<br />
3. Introduce defenders. Play 3 vs. 3 with 1 ball.<br />
Key Coaching Points<br />
1. Name the person to whom you are passing.<br />
2. Call for the ball and tell the player with the ball where you want the ball to be played.<br />
3. Play the ball into the space in front <strong>of</strong> players so that they can run on to the ball.<br />
4. Look up to observe the movements <strong>of</strong> other players in the area.<br />
