Description

Players are divided into:



  • 3 attackers
  • 3 defenders + goalkeeper
  • 2 joker players, who always play on the side of the player in possession, but are not allowed to score a goal themselves.

The drill starts with a pass from the coach to the attackers.


Objectives:


  • Attackers aim to score in the large goal, making use of the jokers' support (numerical advantage).
  • If the defenders win the ball, they aim to score in one of the small goals.

The jokers move actively and offer support and combination pass options to the players in possession.

Coaching key points
Exploiting numerical advantage Winning the ball back and transitioning quickly Moving to support the player in possession Communication: in attacking and defensive situations
Progression
Where were the jokers – did you use them before making the final decision? Did you win the ball alone or through teamwork? Did you offer a clear passing option to the player in possession?
