3v3 Small-Sided & Finishing | Instant Decisions After You Score

Overview

• Run it with 10 players
• Tight field, 15m x 20m
• 3v3 small-sided is the base format
• Both teams take turns attacking and defending

Objectives

• Flip your head and your heart to the next play the second you score
• Sharp shot decisions and clean technique in tight space
• Fast transition from attack to defense and back
• Cool, clear decisions under game-like pressure
• An attacking mindset so both teams keep creating chances

Setup

Score a goal, swap the ball right away, move to an open target (out wide or in a set dribbling direction), and go hunt a second goal there.

１）Kick off 3v3 and play it like a normal small-sided game

２）The moment someone scores, swap the ball immediately

３）The attacking team keeps the ball and moves into the set finishing zone

４）Finish in the finishing zone (let the teams agree on any time limit)

５）Bury it = bonus goal. Miss it = other team gets the ball

６）Run sets of about 10 minutes. Do several sets and rotate

７）Rotate players so everyone gets a turn attacking and defending
