Session 9: 3v3 Technical Shooting

Finishing Youth Development Phase 10–15 Players 25x20

Added January 2026

Two teams compete in a 3v3 inside the playing area. The attacking team receives the ball from an outside server and must combine quickly to create a scoring opportunity. The defending team applies pressure and, if they win possession, immediately transition to attack. The team that scores stays on, keeping intensity and tempo high.
Encourage quick decision-making in tight spaces Focus on efficient finishing technique and composure Reinforce aggressive defending and pressing on loss of possession Promote immediate transitions from defense to attack Praise intensity, communication, and teamwork
Limit the number of passes before a shot must be taken to increase urgency and realism. Add a time constraint to score or introduce bonus points for one-touch finishes to challenge composure under pressure.
