Breaking Down the Box & Finishing | 3-Phase Attack

Overview

• Start the attack from your keeper and break down the defense around the box with quick passing combos
• Finish it off with a sharp, decisive final ball into one of two mini-goals
• Keep it at match tempo and build real, in-the-moment decision-making

Objectives

• The ability to play through tight spaces with quick, accurate passing combos
• Sharp off-the-ball movement to open up space
• Cool heads and pinpoint final balls under pressure
• Breaking teams down by combining side-to-side and back-to-front movement in the flow of the attack

Setup

This one runs as a single sequence: it kicks off behind your keeper, moves through a quick build-up, and finishes with an attack around the box into two mini-goals.

１）Keeper starts it by playing the ball out from the back

２）A defender receives and kicks off the first passing combo

３）Move it forward with quick passing up, down and side to side, hunting for gaps in the defense

４）Once you reach the edge of the box, break them down completely with 2–3 quick passing combos

５）The moment the defense cracks open, slide a decisive final ball toward the mini-goals

６）Whoever gets on the end of it finishes quickly, before a defender can close them down
