THE DRILL

 

3v3 in the middle of the exercise were one team is trying to put the ball in the opponent End Zone while the other is trying to recovering it.

Each team have one player behind it's own End Zone.

When the players have the awareness that they don't have the conditions to go forward they should pass the ball back and start all over the ofensive process.

When this happens, the outside player comes inside with the ball while the player that made the pass goes to his position.

Every time that the ball is goes back, the tendency of the defenders is to go up. When this happen they create spaces behind them.

So, every time the ball goes back or the defenders press higher, at least one of the attackers should make runs to the space behind the defenders. This way they are giving the options to the coleague with ball to play long and score an easy goal.

The defenders should be aware of this space behind their backs being ready at all time for a long ball into space. They should be ready and reactive in the moment of the pass.

The defenders should adapt to the movement of the ball. When pressing, they must undersand that the spaces near the End Zone must be controled and protected otherwise the opponent will easily score.

Also the defender must be ready to react and adapt his positions accordingly to the movements of the attackers. Only this way they can be ready to protect the space.
