comes from the other side. Switch the target after a few minutes.
Variations: Multiple variations including 1-2, overlaps and through balls
Focus: quality pass (on the ground and proper weight), first touch, timing of the runs,
awareness

Activity: The blue players are looking to find a penetrating pass and reach the blues on the
other side to gain a point. The ball must be played on the ground to receive a point. The
white try to win the ball to gain a point. The white must be either in the channel or the side
with the ball. Play for 2 minutes and determine a winner.
Focus: first touch, weight of pass, ball on the ground, awareness, movement of the ball, quick
movement of the ball
3 v 3 v 3 with 2 targets - Finishing
Setup - 50 x 40 yard area. Three teams of 3 with two targets on each half.

Activity - Yellow starts with the ball and looks to find the target and move into space. The
object is to attack with speed and movement to find a scoring opportunity. If the whites win
the ball or the yellows shoot and miss the white gains possession and attacks the other goal.
The game should be constant and fun.
Focus: weight of pass, movement off the ball, awareness, quality shots (facing the frame, on
target)
Action Points/Notes:
Scrimmage (small sided or full field) - For fitness since it is still early in the season maybe do small sided.
