- Description
- 3v3 on a small pitch, with a goal at each end. The pitch is divided lengthwise with cones into three channels. Each team has one player in each channel, and no one is allowed to leave their own channel. There are two balls in play at the same time. When a ball goes out of play, the coach plays a new ball into the game.
Pitch size approximately 30 x 20 m. Play games of 3 or 4 minutes and switch channels between games so that everyone plays both in the middle and out wide.
In the second phase of the drill, the channel rule is removed and the game is played with one ball.
