3 vs. 1 vs. 1<br />
Purpose<br />
To develop combination play in a game situation<br />
Organization<br />
Set out a 30-by-40-yard area. Station a goal (5 yards wide) and a goalkeeper on one endline. Station 3 attacking<br />
players with one ball on the far endline from the goal. Use discs to create two 10–by-30-yard channels on the far<br />
side <strong>of</strong> the area from the goal. Station the first defender in the channel in front <strong>of</strong> the 3 attackers and 1 defender in<br />
the channel behind the first defender. Allow 20 yards from the last defender’s area to the goal. Repeat in three other<br />
areas for a total <strong>of</strong> 12 players.<br />
Game Objective<br />
The 3 attacking players combine to pass the ball side to side to advance the ball down the field. Defensive players<br />
may attempt to tackle the 3 attacking players when they enter their 10-by-30-yard channel. Defensive players may<br />
not leave their area. Once the 3 attacking players have passed through both channels, they combine to get a shot on<br />
goal and score. Repeat and then rotate positions.<br />
Progressions<br />
1. Add channels.<br />
2. Increase the number <strong>of</strong> defenders in each channel.<br />
3. Add a covering defender to the area in front <strong>of</strong> goal.<br />
Key Coaching Points<br />
1. Draw the defender toward you before passing the ball to a teammate.<br />
2. Don’t hold on to the ball too long to allow the defender to close down your passing angles and options.<br />
3. Name the person to whom you are passing.<br />
4. Call for the ball and tell the player with the ball where you want the ball to be played.<br />
5. Play the ball into the space in front <strong>of</strong> players so that they can run onto the ball.<br />
