Technical/Tactical1v1 to End Line (15 mins)

1v1 to End Line

-Duration: 15min

-Intensity: High

Organization:

Area: each grid 10Wx15L

Equipment: 3 cone goals on ends (~3yds in length), soccer balls, cones

Players: All (limit to 5/6 per grid)

-Attacker must dribble through cones to score, make competitive (first Individual to 15 points wins).

-Defender(starts with all soccer balls) passes into attacker. Attacker must get past defender and dribble through cones with possession. If defender wins the ball they can score by dribbling across the opposite endline. 3 goals on end worth 1,2, and 3 points.

-Switch sides each time (defender will go behind attacking line/attacker will go in defending line.

Coaching Points/Key Concepts: attack with pace, engage defender (dribble at defender), Change of direction and acceleration, attack with outside of foot (pinky toe), big touches to attack space/small touches when approaching defender/big touches after defender is beat.

-Advanced: can touch on different moves but focus on change of pace first.
