3v3+3 Foundations

Obj: Support angles with neutrals — the first true positional game: superiority used, not just enjoyed. Field: 20×20yd. Equip: Cones, ball, 3 bib colors. Org: Two teams of 3 compete; 3 neutrals (two wide, one inside) always play with the possession team, creating 6v3. Ten passes = 1 pt; a pass through the middle neutral = 2. Losing team presses immediately (transition live). Neutrals rotate every 3 min — everyone learns the +1 life. CP: (1) With a 6v3, someone is ALWAYS free — find him before dribbling into trouble; (2) neutrals position on different lines than the ball (staggered heights, 2.1.2); (3) on loss: six seconds, all three. Prog: Two-touch for neutrals; middle-neutral passes must be third-man released. Reg: 12-pass rounds untimed; 4v4+3. Mist: P: treating neutrals as walls to hide behind (they're options, not escapes — vary the picture); C: neutrals never rotated (the shy kids need the +1 experience most). Time: 15 min. Out: Free-man language born; staggered support visible. Var: Directional version to small goals as the bridge to C-03. Diag: Square, two teams of 3 interspersed, wide neutrals on touchline midpoints, inside neutral center, pass web showing 6v3.
