3v3 in Lanes with Two Balls

© CoachTruly.com- Description
- 3v3 on a small pitch, with a goal at each end. The pitch is divided lengthwise with cones into three lanes. Each team has one player in each lane, and no player is allowed to leave their own lane. 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, for age groups U8, U9 and U10. Play 3 or 4 minute games and switch lanes between games so that every player gets to play both in the middle and out wide.
- Coaching key points
- Use the full width of your own lane. Move away from your defender so you're free to receive. Check your surroundings before receiving: which lane has space? When your own lane is congested, switch the play to another lane.
- Progression
- Remove the lane rule for the last game. Do the players still stay wide? Then play with one ball. Who stays wide when the ball is on the opposite side?
