DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE (TECHNIQUE / SKILL)

3 V 3 ----- Attacking Combination Play

Three players combine to make Combinations to complete a successful Attack against Two Defenders - then Three

ORGANISATION

Players play in a 20 x 20 metre grid With two 5 metre end zones

1. End Zone Player plays into one of two attacking team mates

2. End Zone Player delays support run until they make an assessment

3. Two Central players movement, decisions and combinations will help End Zone player to decide if, when, how far to come in and support

4. Players try to use extra player to combine to get into far end zone

5. Repeat from other zone

6. Change Server every time

KEY OBSERVATION

Starting Positions - see defenders, passer, team mate and see ball

Quality of First Pass - must give time and space for attackers to assess choices

Individual Technique - to Receive, to Control, to Move, to get good position

Decision Making - Create space for self, for others, dribble, pass

ATTACKING COMBINATION -- OVERLAPS, WALL PASS, TAKE OVERS, CROSS OVERS

End Product -- Exploit Combinations - get into end zone

NOTES

May need to start 3 v 1 before 3 v 2. Only bring to 3 v 3 after a lot of work. Change area?

Work with passive and semi-passive defending to illustrate possible Attacking Combos

Help Players to make Decisions - as Individuals and as an Attacking Unit / Combo

Recognise that Individual Technique and tactical know how may need further practice

As the exercise progresses apply Offside or an offside line either half way or further
