- 12 min

Three simple drills that help the team understand the third-man run – both as a tool to create space and chances in attack and to escape difficult situations. Aimed at U10–U12.
What the coach should look for
- The third player moves as the pass is given.
- Play to the free player – not the marked one.
- Talk: tell teammates what you see.
