Tactical Problem – Creating Space (Soccer)

Piggy in the middle

                Three people are needed in a group for this game.  Two people play pass while the other person tries to capture the ball.  The person trying to receive the ball needs to find open space so the passer can make a pass accurately.  The whole point of this game is to stay out of the middle.

                Players try to chip their soccer ball into a round target placed somewhere on the field.  This teaches the players to perfectly place the ball into spots that would be open when playing a game.  This would allow teammates to run onto the ball and allowing them to stay in a running motion rather than stopping to receive a pass.
