3 vs. 1 attack

Drill Description

• Players are assigned to the two zones in front of the goals.
• Goal Zone 1: Three attackers vs. one defender.
• Goal Zone 2: One attacker vs. one defender.
• Extra balls are placed near both goals.
• Play begins with the 3 vs. 1 in Goal Zone 1.
• The three attackers combine to set up a pass to the attacker in Zone 2.
• After the pass, two of the Zone 1 attackers switch sides to create a new 3 vs. 1 and help their teammate score.
• After the shot, a new turn begins with the 3 vs. 1 in Zone 2 and so on.
• If a defender wins the ball, he/she passes it to his/her teammates on the other side, who may shoot on that goal.

Coaching Tips

• Limit the number of touches during the attack-building phase.
