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

4. Ball Supply: Multiple soccer balls with the goalkeepers or coach

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.

• 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.
