3 v 3 v 3 Keep-Away
Organize three teams of three players in a 25 x 25-yard area. Each team has a different colored jersey. Two teams combine to play 6 v 3 keep-away against the other three players. The team that is responsible for losing possession becomes the defending team. Play for 25 minutes starting with three-touch, progressing to two-touch and then one-touch. Have a supply of balls around the perimeter to keep the game flowing.
Coaching Points
- Body shape should change in relation to the ball’s movement.
- Good passing and receiving technique
- Work hard - chase to get the ball back
