Opposite Movements

Develop attacking movement, quick passing combinations, and finishing under pressure.

• Players work in a small-sided setup in front of goal. • Organise three players (A, B, and C) positioned as shown in the diagram. • Use cones to define movement areas and a goalkeeper in goal. • Player A starts by playing a bounce pass with Player B. • Player B opens out to one side (their choice). • Player A shapes as if to return the pass to Player B but instead plays to Player C, who opens up in the opposite direction of Player B’s movement. • As Player C receives the ball, Player B moves towards them. • Player C sets the ball for Player B, who finishes with a first-time shot or controlled strike. • Players rotate positions after each sequence.
