Soccer Drills

3 Goal 1 vs. 2

Setup

In a triangular shape, set three small goals approximately 15-20 yards apart. With three players, instruct each player to defend a certain goal. These players can score on any of the other two goals.

Instructions

The player to score 3 goals first wins the game. After a goal is scored all players must return to their goals before play continues.

Coaching Points

• On the attacking player, encourage the players to dribble at players with speed with the intent to get to the space behind the defenders.
• Make sure players are looking up trying to find the most venerable goal.
• Defensively encourage players to stay aware of their positioning and recover quickly when transitioning from offensive to defense.
