Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): SFA 1.3 Children's Award: 2 v 1- Attackers

Screen 1

Organisational / Instructions

• 30 yds x 20 yds
• 2 v 1 in favour of attackers
• Defender starts with the ball, passes the ball to the furthest attacker, who then takes a touch and starts the attack
• If defender wins the ball he/she can score into one of the two samba goals
• Rotate attackers and defenders after every attempt, defenders defend from the other side of the goal.

Coaching Points

• Positive first touch
• Speed of attack
• Movement 
• Communication
• Drive into space
• Maintain a good distance
• Use width and length

Progressions / Adaptations

• Decrease area size (more difficult for attackers)
• Introduce conditions eg: attackers must take at least 5 touches before passing, time limit, end zone.
• Make it a competition- attackers v defenders
