Academy 3v1 to lines

• 2 bumpers outside the grid
• Lines at each end

1. Blue against green in the middle, with two red bumpers (B) outside the grid.
2. The two in the middle use dribbling and passing to beat the other across the line.
3. Work on keeping control. Don't just kick the ball across the line.

Bumpers

Play 2 touch, and must play the ball back to the colour that passed it. Remind them to move up and down the side to help the attackers.

Rotation

After each 3v1, the two bumpers go to the end of the attackers' lines (one blue, one green), and the blue and green players become the new bumpers.

Younger kids may not get the idea of wide targets, but older kids can use them to keep spacing and work on when to dribble and when to pass around a defender.
