3RD ATTACKER AND DEFENDER





3rd att. & def.
3rd att. & def.

THE GAME: 3 v. 2 then 3 v. 3 in possession then penetration.

PROGRESSION:
1. Play 3 v 2 to keep possession, then play to targets.

2. Now emphasize role of the third attacker to unbalance the defense by staying wide or getting to height. Starting with 2 defenders gives a clearer picture of how 'height' can affect the play.

3. Make sure to address how roles change once a pass is made: Who is second and third attacker now?

4. Play 3 v. 3 to targets- Address role of third defender: tracking, balance, compactness.

5. Play 3 v. 3 to goals.
