Soccer coaching session to put pressure on your front line attackers
Use this soccer coaching session to test your attacking front line by increasing the pressure they are under and making the exercise imitate match-like intensity.
Using a soccer coaching session such as this, with attacking combinations, is a great way of putting pressure on your forward line as they head for goal.
They will not always face the same number of defenders in a match so the game builds up the number from no defenders to three as the soccer drill progresses.
You are moving the forward line through unopposed to opposed play, therefore increasing the difficulty level.
Set up soccer coaching session
- Use an area 40 yards by 30 yards or use the pitch from the halfway line.
- You need a goal and a goalkeeper, and for this session you should use six outfield players split 3v3.
How to play it
- The coach passes a ball to the three forwards, who combine to shoot at goal unopposed.
- Once the shot is taken, a defender races on to the pitch and the coach passes a new ball to the forwards, who now combine in a 3v1 situation.
- This sequence continues with additional defenders added until a 3v3 is played.
How to rotate the players
The forwards count the number of goals scored and rotate with the defenders for the next game.
