1v1 Moves

Purpose

To improve speed of running with the ball, 1v1 attacking and defending skill, and fast decision making under full presssure in a small area.

Set Up

Depending on number set up two fields

Two players line up back to back within a small with three target goals. The ball is placed between the players to begin 1v1.

Instriction

On coaches singal, the players break for the ball and the coach identifies a goal for the players to score in. The player that dribles through the target goals wins

Progression

Coach can specify which side of the gated goal the players must enter through. Coach can adjust the size of the area to suit the needs of the player

Player Tip

Winning possession is crucial. Use combinations of speed and 1v1 moves, change of direction, stops, start and feints

Coaches Tip

Waiting to announce the targeted goal until possession is won, challenges players to react quickly under pressure.

Use a 40x30 grid. Play 4v4.

Encourage players to use what they have learned during the session in the game play. Make sure we praise the players when they try to implement what we worked on during the session.

Things to look for in the game at the end:

- Are players able to apply basic principles in game play of pressure/cover

- Do the players recognize that their defensive role changes based on which teammate is closest to the ball when the attackers make a pass

- Are the players able to think about where they want to force the attackers (mainly away from goal and towards the sideline in this small sided activity).
