3v3 Plus Keepers to Full-Size Goals

1. Field Size: 40 yards long by 30 yards wide
2. Goals: Set up two full-size goals on each end line and assign a goalkeeper to each. If a full-size goal is not available, use a rebounder, training sticks, cones, or two wide mini-goals
3. Players: 3v3 with 1 goalkeeper in each goal
4. Ball Supply: Multiple soccer balls with the goalkeepers or coach

This game-style drill promotes technical and tactical development in an engaging and competitive format, with frequent touches, shots, and decision-making opportunities.

• Quick Transitions: Encourage fast counterattacks after winning the ball.
• Finishing: Players should focus on accuracy and composure in front of goal.
• Defensive Awareness: Defenders must communicate and cover space as a unit.
• Support Play: Off-the-ball movement creates passing lanes and scoring opportunities.
• Goalkeeper Distribution: Goalkeepers should play accurate, quick restarts to maintain game flow.

1. Play 3v3 plus a keeper.
2. The goalkeeper starts play anytime the ball goes over the end line or a goal is scored.
3. If the ball goes out over the sideline, play is restarted with a kick-in or throw-in.
4. Play for a set time (e.g., 3-5 minute rounds), then rotate teams or goalkeepers as needed.
5. Emphasize continuous play and quick restarts to maintain intensity.

• Touch Limit: Limit field players to two touches to increase pace and decision speed.
• Scoring Zones: Create bonus scoring zones inside the box for specific finishing objectives.
• Power Play: Allow a team to temporarily add a fourth attacker for 30 seconds after scoring.
• Weak Foot Finish: Require players to shoot with their weaker foot for specific rounds.
