Skill Training (35 mins)

Organisation

2 teams start outside an area 15m x 20m with each team starting lined up at opposite corners of the field. Ball starts with defending player. The team task is to beat the defender 1v1 before finishing a scoring opportunity. Defending player passes the ball to the attacker and immediately enters the field and tries to close down the attacking player. the attacking player dribbles the ball into the area and attempts to beat the defender 1v1 and dribble over the end line within a set time. If the defender wins the ball they have a set time limit to score before sequence is over. Once sequence is over the players join the end of the opposite line.

Progressions

Add goals allowing players to score a point by scoring in the goals
2v1 where 1 point for a goal as a result of a pass and 5 points for a goal as a result of a successful 1v1

Coaching Points

Use feints, change of speed, change of direction or skill moves to put the defender off balance
Once defender beaten, accelerate away quickly
Keep the ball moving to make it hard for the defender to win the ball
Small touches in on the ball when close to the defender, bigger touches when running away
