Continuous 3v2

Fast and quick 3v2s focusing on attackers cutting in the clear.

Description:  A small space competitive 3v2 cut-back drill. A twist on a 3v2 drill that allows it to be continuous and makes the attackers cut back first before attacking their cage. It also adds in some hidden conditioning.

  • Set up two goals just inside each sideline and make a line of cones dividing the space in half.  

  • There will be three attacking lines and two defensive lines behind each cage and a goalie in each with the balls.

  • Attackers will cut towards the goalie on the opposite end to receive the ball, all attackers must cross the 50 before they can turn and attack.

  • Defenders from the same side as the goalie with the ball will sprint to get over into the other side before the attackers turn and attack.

  • That plays out, then the other goalie clears for it to go to the other side.

Equipment:  2 goals, balls, and cones

Skills Emphasized: Stickwork, fast ball movement, offensive, and defensive communication

Coaching Points of Emphasis:

  • Speed and quickness to beat opposite side over the line

  • Getting attackers to quickly catch and turn and create good attacking angles after changing directions.

  • Defensively getting in and bodies adjusted to the attackers coming in at them and communication.
