Shooting 2: Practice Organisation

This soccer practice drill involves 3 attackers versus 1 defender in a 15x10 yard grid with a goal. The 2 front attackers pass the ball looking to evade the confined defender and pass to the advanced attacker. On receiving the pass, the advanced attacker controls, turns, and shoots at goal. Players then rotate roles. The drill can progress by allowing the defender to pressure from behind once the ball is advanced or adding a second supporting attacker.

GK

Nature of support play from As.


Intelligent marshalling of defensive situation from D.
Simple progressions for this practice are:
- D can leave central zone once ball is advanced to
A & chase/apply pressure from behind.
- 1 of the 2As in deep zone can move into advanced zone to
support advanced A.

15 yds

come short to receive; turn & attack goal from a deeper position.
