Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 1v1 to Gates (Spin Moves)

1v1 to Gates (Spin Moves)

1v1 to Gates

Two lines of players (attackers and defenders) with gates on the sides. Defenders serve a ball in to the attackers, who score by dribbling through either gate to score.

If the defenders win the ball, they may score by dribbling past the attackers' line.

Coaching Points:

• Take a positive first touch toward one of the gates
• Keep the ball close to maintain control & be able to change direction at any time
• Change direction when the defender is near to protect the ball and evade
• If the defender is near, use the correct foot/move to change direction and shield the ball from the defender, rather than playing in front of them
• Accelerate after changing direction to escape the defender
• Can the players be successful changing direction?
• If the defenders catch on, can the players use hesitations or fake changes of direction to fool them?

• Require one sole touch before scoring
• Require on change of direction before scoring
• Require one spin move before scoring
