Continuous 3v3 | Sharpen Tempo and Transition

Overview

• Run a 3v3 game with multiple teams (at least 3) rotating through
• Two games run side by side at all times, and every goal triggers a swap
• The team waiting has to stay ready to jump onto the field at any moment

Objectives

• Sharpen quick decisions and the mindset to switch on in an instant
• Build finishing when the tempo is high and time is short
• Keep the quality clean even when you’re playing flat out
• Get players better at reading and reacting to transitions

Setup

Set up a 40m x 30m area with two fields big enough for 3v3. Put a goalkeeper on each field, and park the third team in a resting zone in the middle.

１）Kick off both 3v3 games at the same time

２）The moment a goal goes in on either field, the team that scored comes straight off

３）The waiting team steps onto the field right away

４）The team that just got scored on (the defending team) stays on and keeps playing

５）Feed the game a ball from the other field so play keeps rolling

６）Repeat this over and over so the games are always flowing and on the move
