3v2 Transition to 4v3 to Goal is a fast paced, competitive, and continuous attacking activity to goal. Help your team capitalize on numerical advantages, counter attacking ability, close range finishing tech, timing of runs, taking players on, deciding when to penetrate, pass, or shoot. 1V1 defending, closing people down, cutting off angles, communication.

Set up:

3V2 to goal with 4V3 transitional opportunity. 24 field players plus 2 GKs, 45X36, 12 minutes, 6 minutes each direction.

Instructions:

As shown in the diagram, the green player plays the ball to his teammate between the two flags and then follows his pass and overlaps him in order to enter the field. The second player penetrates on the dribble as the third player joins as well. Simultaneously two yellow defenders have joined from the other side to make it a 3V2. If a goal is scored or goes out of bounds, the attack is over. If the defending team wins the ball or the GK makes a save, an immediate counter ball can be played to either player highlighted in yellow making it a 4V3 going the other direction. Coach on each sideline to monitor offside line.
