1v1 Through Target

- Play 1v1 against opponents, looking to dribble ball through opposition target lanes (through 2 sets of cones).

- 1. Attacker starts with ball and dribbles out to 1v1. Defender can pressure on attackers first touch.

- 2. Attacker receives ball from team mate before taking on defender. Defender can pressure as soon as pass is made.

- 3. Attacker and defender start at attackers end line, with defender facing away from attacker. Attacker plays ball through defenders legs to receive on other side and dribble to opponents end line. Defender makes recovery run to stop attacker.

- Players rotate with partner after play ends. Attacker and defender roles rotate each turn.
