3v3 with 4 supports and a central player

This 3v3 small-sided game with 4 corner support players will help you work on combinations in tight spaces. Remember to regularly rotate the support players.

Animation: 3v3 with 4 supports and a central player
Using 4 cones, create a 20x20m area then form 2 teams of 3 players and one team of 4 players (see animation). Place one player from each team in the center of the field, then ask the others to spread out on each side. Next, place the 4 players from the last team at each corner of the playing area.

The exercise proceeds as follows:
  1. The 3-player teams must keep the ball as long as possible but only score a point when the central player touches the ball.
  2. The corner players serve as support for the team in the offensive position.
  3. The corner players as well as the support players are only allowed one touch of the ball.

A pass to the central player = 1 point.

Variation: to evolve the exercise, you can prohibit the side players from making a pass to a support. Only the central players can play on the support.

Variation: only the central players can play on the support.
Variation: only the central players can play on the support.

Remember to adjust the number of zones based on the number of players present at practice. If you have a group of 20 players, for example, you can create 2 zones and perform the exercise simultaneously in each zone.
