Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve Finding space, Triangular movements, First-time passing and Anticipating passes.
Field Preparation:
 Area 10 x 10 yards. 4 players. Supply of balls. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
A three-against-one situation rarely occurs in an actual match, as the lone player would have little hope of success. The team should therefore make sure that one of its players is not caught in such a situation. The aim of this exercise is to force the attacking team into constantly trying to find space, so that the player with the ball always has two possibilities of passing, either to his left or to his right. This means that once a pass has been made, the player is himself obliged to move in order to take up a position ready to receive another pass. The defending player has to try to intercept the passes by clever positioning and by dummying to the man with the ball.
Method
Three players face one defender and pass the ball among themselves as long as they can, while the opponent tries to intercept their passes. When he succeeds in doing so, he gives the ball back to one of the three players, and
after a certain time the players change roles.
Variations
- No restrictions.
- Two-touch football.
- Every other pass must be made first time.
- First-time passing.
