1v1 (10 mins)

Session Organization:

10m x 10m grid with cones or mini goals as shown. Players split into 2 teams Red & Blue and setup as above.

Explanation:

Each player defends 2 sets of cones or mini goals as shown.

Play is started when Blue player passes the ball to the Red player, which then becomes an active 1v1 situation.

Once this play concludes with either a goal or the ball going out of the playing area, the second pair of players do the same, and so on.

Progression:

Both sets of players are active, 2 x 1v1 at the same time.

Coach serves an aerial ball to the attacker, the aerial ball is the trigger for the defender to close down the opponent, hence increasing the difficulty.

Evaluation:

Verbal and non-verbal communication

touch away from defender - drive into space

use of body to protect ball (attacking)

body shape (defending)

can I use body to delay the attacker or change direction of attacker

speed of movement with the ball (attacking)
