2v1/3v2 transition game
OK, I’m going to say it – my team absolutely pummelled their opponents at the weekend and, yes, you guessed it, we lost 2-1. The number of times my players had an overload in their favour in front of goal was unbelievable and yet they didn’t exploit a single chance.
So what will we be working on this week? This session which exploits 2v1s and 3v2s in front of goal.
How it works
The advantage switches as the attack changes direction after every phase of play.
How to set it up
Use a 40 yards by 30 yards area with a goal and a goalkeeper at each end.
How to play it
-
The central player dribbles on to the pitch and passes to one of the two opponents.
-
Immediately, a 2v1 situation begins.
-
Once this ball is played, two team mates join the defender and a 3v2 game commences in the opposite direction.
Rotate your players
- Rotate the players’ positions so both teams have a chance to attack 2v1 and 3v2.
