3v2 With Bounce Players

Coaching Objectives

Individual skills help the players keep the ball and play the right pass to open up the goals

Attack 

• The attacker need to pass crisply and along the ground to move at speed that defenders will find harder to cover
• Passes should be ahead of each other in the move upfield into the run of a team mate
• Receive on the furthest foot from the pass on the half turn making it easier to scan what is happening on the pitch
• Try to attack the space left by the defenders – attack down the middle and pass the ball or if the space is down the wing attack wide passing inside to beat the defender.
• Players now need to link up with the bounce player to set up a goal scoring chance.

Defence:

• Good body shape to force the player with the ball inside away from goal.
• Don't jump in but press to hold up the attackers otherwise if they beat you it's easier for the attackers to score
• One defender press and one covers, and defenders must be on the balls of their feet ready to react
