Attackers Vs. Defenders - 1v1

Place players in two lines. The coach plays a pass to the attacker. when the pass is made the defender can try to win the ball and kick it to the coach for a point. The attacker trys to get around the defender and score on the goal for a point. Each player keeps their own score.

Play for a few minutes then talk to the players about what you should do at each line and then go again. If equal players in each line, move some players around in one of the lines so that they are getting to go against different children.

If the ball is out of play the coach will say "Get out of there" and the players will switch lines each time.

Two 3-4 minute rounds.

Coaching Points:

Attacker- Change speeds and directions to get by defender. Fake one way and go the other.

Defender- Run out to attacker but slow down as you get close and try to win the ball. Move to the space inbetween the attacker and the goal
