Soccer drill procedure

This attack is really unfair, as you can tell from the animation. It involves three attackers with two balls against one goalkeeper. But be careful! It looks easier than it is; the attackers can quickly get confused and lose the balls. Both the attackers and the defender need to have a good sense of orientation. Teaching players to keep their bearings is one of the main coordination goals, which is why we have included it in this drill.

In this drill, we combine one-on-one training with coordinating movements and I hope that the “wave” will be recognizable.

Description

The sequence is self-explanatory. Three attackers with two balls, one defender and one goalkeeper, and: good luck!
