3vs3+3 Possession Practice

DESCRIPTION

3vs3+3 (or 6vs3, possession practice)

3 ATTs in middle try to possess the ball away from 3 DFs in the middle, using 3 neutrals on the outside.

If the DFs win the ball they have to score on the mini goals as quickly as possible. 

Progressions/Adaptations

• change roles periodically
• could just play when DFs win it, they have to keep the ball then.
• change numbers and size of space accordingly.

COACHING POINTS

This is a possession exercise so points relating to keepin the ball can be addressed. See other sessions - the coahin points are the same.

Another aspect to this session - which relates to the style of play - is the transitional moment when we lose the ball - so ATT-to-DF.

• when the possession team loses the ball, they have to then stop the DFs passing the ball into the mini goals. 
• This replicates a pass in a game.
• This practice will hopefully create that mentality. The mentality to pressure ball as soon as you lose it.
• Pressuring player - players who ate closest to the ball - can even press in numbers, it more than one player is close to the ball, to really stress the DFs when they win it. 
• PLayers who are farther away from ball - think about blocking passing lanes into sm,all gaosl. Explain to players, that this are like players in a agem. Awareness is needed to know they are blocking lanes, and will not neccesarily mean going towards ball, but blocking and screening the goals, and reading where teh ball might go.
• Players away from ball, will also have to be aware of other DFS that may be passed to.

Include transitional moment sin the practice also by:

• allowng yellows to come insode hwne ball is lost, to alos block and win balls.
• When possession is won back, Yellows then have to go back to outside - like creating space upon getting the ball back - explain this to players.
