3v3 to Four Goals

Objective

• Play, score, and start to notice where the space is

Set-up and how it runs

• Set a goal in the middle of each of the four sides.
• 3v3. Each team attacks two goals and defends two.
• No goalkeepers. Every ball out is a dribble-in, not a throw.
• Play four-minute games and rotate the teams so everyone plays everyone.

Equipment

• 4 small goals or 8 cones
• Bibs
• Balls

Coaching points

• If one goal is guarded, go to the other one
• Spread out — don't all chase the ball
• Have a go: shoot when you see the goal
• Everybody defends when the other team has it

Progressions

• Two-touch maximum in the last minute
• A goal only counts if everyone is over the halfway line
• Make one goal worth double
