Attacking from wide 3v3 small-sided game

The purpose of this 3v3 small-sided soccer game is to encourage players to get the ball wide and create scoring opportunities from these positions.

• 20×40 yard area with 2 channels 5 yards wide
• 1 soccer ball
• 2 goals
• 2 teams of 3

Once you have set up your area and made your 2, 5-yard wide channels, separate your players into 2 teams of 3.

If a team is able to score a goal with an assist coming from a player in a wide area then that goal worth an extra point goals instead of one.

If a team is able to score with a first time finish that is also an extra point.

• When your team is attacking use the whole width of the area
• When you are in a wide area try to get a cross in as early as possible
• If you do not have the ball support the wide players going forward ( making runs into the box) and backward (dropping off and creating an angle to work a new opening)

• When you are attacking how you can create as much space as possible?
• What benefits does your team get by playing crosses early?
• How can you support the wide player going forward/backward?
