3-Station Combination Attacking Drill | Finishing Through the Wings

Overview

• Run it with 3 players: a center forward, a left winger, and a right winger
• Field size: 30m long × 40m wide
• Attack the three stations in order
• Different wings on each side, so players pick up attacking patterns from multiple angles

Objectives

• Build real, game-like attacking patterns through the wings
• Sharpen the timing of runs and how well players link up
• Speed up decision-making on both the left and right sides
• Grow the reading skills to handle busy, crowded movement in front of goal

Setup

Set up three attacking stations on the field. The center forward works through them in order — first the left wing, then the right wing — finishing on goal each time. Players pick up several attacking patterns in one flowing sequence.

１）Stage 1: Center forward’s first-time shot

The server plays into the center forward, who finishes first time.

２）Stage 2: One-two through the left wing

Right after that shot, the center forward sprints over to the left wing station, plays a one-two with the left winger, and the left winger finishes.

３）Stage 3: Cross & finish through the right wing

After Stage 2, the center forward makes a big run across to the right wing station. Off the right winger’s cross, the center forward and left winger both attack the ball together to finish the move.
