ORGANISATION:
Penalty Area with 2 full size goals as shown in Diagram 1. 44x30yrds, this should be increased for more advanced players.
4 gate goals (marked with yellow training poles above) are next to the goals at either end.
4 additional gates (marked in blue cones above) are placed inside the gate goals as markers from where the players enter the field of play.
2 GKs (one in each goal)
Balls are positioned at both sides of the playing area by the gates where the players enter.
INSTRUCTIONS:Teams alternate between attacking and defending. The attacking team always attacks with 3 players and the defending team defends with 2 players. The defending team passes the ball across to one of their opponents gates to initiate play and both defenders enter. The receiving gate sending in 2 players and an additional play enters from their other gate. This creates the 3vs3 scenario. Once the ball goes out of play or a goal is scored, play starts with a pass in from the other side (i.e. the defending team becomes the attacking team).
Initial pass across from the red (defending team) and both Red 1 and 2 enter.
The blue team receives the ball and pass between each other until there is an opportunity to shoot on the full size goal of their opponents. (Diagram 2)
Blue player 3 shoots on goal.

A clear game model turns a squad into a team. Use pre-season to decide who you want to be, then train it every single week so your side is recognisable from the first whistle.
Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
