Soccer: 3 vs 1 Keep ball

Your players should always have two passing outlets! Work on your players' triangle passing to help them attack and go forward

Use this pass and move plan to improve your team's in-step passing technique - helping them to keep possession for longer!

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!

Set out a triangle with 3 cones all 1 meter apart.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 through the area of the triangle.

Player 2 has to control the ball and touch it to the side before playing a return pass.

Players must make sure that when they make a return pass that it is never played through the same side of the triangle that they have just received the ball through.

Encouraging 1st time shooting by using the correct technique to take the shot early and finish from close range.

Get your knee over the ball and use the pace of the ball to generate the power. By trying to strike the ball too hard, the likelihoood is the accuracy will be poor.

Blue 1 plays ball into area and clue 2 moves in to shoot 1st time. Blue 2 goes to replace blue 1 and blue 1 runs around working area to take blue 2s place.

There are two triangles in this drill, both using the same top point player (player 5).

Players in the top triangle pass in an anti-clockwise direction and players in the lower triangle pass in a clock-wise direction.

Both pairs of players must use the middle player as their third passing option.
