6v6+2+2 3 zones, 4 goals
Encourage use of wide players + GK to combine, misdirect opposition
@TacticalPad notes + video: bit.ly/45Xgn64
Unmarked wide-zone teammates + GK create 8v6 in possession, use of 2 target goals allows team to misdirect, quickly switch to score - only GK in defending goal zone

We did this 2-sided goal game with @SeasideHigh girls yesterday. I modified as a 3v3+1 with 4 goals, which simplified the problem and create more opportunities to combine. The key coaching point was the movement of the 3rd player, especially off ball played into the neutral.

3v3+1 3 grids
Grid divided into 3 zones, 1v1s with 1 neutral, focus on possession, combos
@TacticalPad notes + video: bit.ly/3xfb0mQ
Focus on role of neutral, actions of players off-ball to create space to combine. On transition, quickly play away from pressure. Use middle grid for quick 1-2s

6v3+1 hex 3 zone
Here is a variation on the classic positional play with a hex shape and zone-locked defenders. With touch restrictions, the Red players are challenged to make short/sharp passes. On loss of possession, they must quickly enter+press to regain the ball. Adjust size based on ability.

We tried this activity with @SeasideHigh girls soccer. I have used it in the past - it is always interesting to see the players sort out the problem, understand the responsibility of the 2nd player (opposite color) when their teammate has the ball, needs an outlet. 3-touch max to encourage passing.
November 28, 2024 at 12:53 AM
Introduced this activity to our @SeasideHigh girls today. The game prioritizes decision making off the ball to find spaces and angles to receive, then to be able to move forward with the ball or play into the wide neutrals.
