Set up

One 30x20m pitch per six players, a goal each end, bibs for defenders.

How it works

Three attackers against two defenders at one goal. Defenders who win the ball counter the other way.

  • When the ball goes out, the next wave starts.

Scoring: One point per goal, either end.

Say this

"Head up""Move it wide""Sprint back"

Too easy?

Attackers pass twice before shooting.

Too hard?

Attack three against one.

Organising it

30 m sided area per group. With 14 kids: 2 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. With 20 kids: 3 groups of 3v3, 2 rotate in every minute. Runs with one coach.

Missing gear? No goals → two cones make a two metre gate each end. No bibs → the two defenders play shirts off. No cones → bags or hall lines mark the sides.

If this one is not landing

Bridge the Gap

Pass the ball from box to box. Defenders in the channel try to block it.

Five Against Three

Five keep the ball inside the box. Three chase. Lose it, swap with the winner.
