Hi Robin,we have a number of 3v2 drills so the best thing to do is try the search bar. This should be at the top of the page - this will find you drills, answered coach's questions and lesson plans.

I think a lot of the drills are 3 attackers against 2 defenders, but you can simply change the numbers round the suit your needs.
