Football: 3 v 3 v 3

6 players work in an area approximately 30 meters wide, divided in two with a third boxed area at one end.

Red team play a 3 v 1 inside the first area but need to look for early deep ball to blue (3) in smaller coned area.

The Blue team has also got a player (2) in the centre zone this player can not enter the area where the reds are keeping possession.

Play 2 v 2 in each area. One ball per practice.

The object of the game is to pass the ball to a player on the same team in the opposing area. A goal is scored when a.) the receiver plays a one touch pass back to a teammate in the originating area or b.) the receiver turns with the ball and plays it to a teammate in his area.

Score 2 goals when the team advances the ball to the opposing endline and stops the ball on the line.

Each teams has 3 players and one goal to defend and one to attack.

The ball is not allowed to stop or go over head height.

By passing and dribbling the ball players must try to score three goals - first to three wins!

The aim of the drill is to work on helping your team keep possession all over the field. The game starts with normal rules, no limitations on touches, with both teams simply trying to score. The game changes when the coach shouts the following:

1. Possession - Players must keep possession in their own half, which of course means they are not allowed to score. If a team wins the ball, they must take the ball to their own half and try and keep it.

2. Normal - Teams return to a normal game and are allowed to score.

3. Barca - Similar to possession, but this time players must attempt to keep the ball in the other teams half, but they are not allowed to score. If the other team wins the ball they must get the ball into their opponent's half and keep it there.
