Overview
- Field players U13 and up
- Teams that want reps in tight, small-numbers battles
- Players who need to handle late-game moments and being a man down
Objectives
- Learn to get all the way to a shot with just one teammate and very little space
- Shield the ball under pressure, keep it, and read the next play in a split second
- On defense, lock down the attack two-on-two and sharpen your nose for the ball
- Speed up the switch — loss to defense, win to attack — so players react instantly in transition
Setup
The server kicks it off with one pass into the center forward. The moment that ball moves, it’s live 2v2 and stays live until someone scores or the ball goes out. Run several rounds so everyone gets time attacking and defending.
１）Use a field of about 30m x 30m
２）Attack has three players (center forward, one support, server); defense has three
３）As soon as the server plays it into the center forward, both attackers and both defenders go at the same time
４）The team on the ball keeps playing until they score or the ball goes out
５）After each round, rotate so everyone gets a turn attacking and defending
