Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): RR 2v1

2v1's (15 mins)

Organization:

• 2v1 
• one ball
• 20x10
• Reset on each out of play ball with each player starting by the goals. 

Instructions:

• The players in the team of two must use one specific part of the foot to pass the ball, for instance, only using the inside, outside or the laces of the foot to pass and receive.
• The team of 2 must dribble the ball past the red end line 
• There is offsides
• One point for crossing the line with the ball for the team of 2
• The solo defender gets two point for an interception or a kick out, 2 extra points for scoring in any of the goals. 

Coaching Points/Questions:

• How can we pass and move to create space and time
• When do we use containing first touch vs positive touch into space?

Regressions/Progressions:

• For progression we can make the space bigger or smaller. Bigger would make it harder for the defender and smaller field makes it harder for the offensive 2
• We can also progress by having the team of two scoring in the pugs as the defender can shift to crossing the red line with the ball for extra points. 
• For regression we can do this activity using only hands. no offside rule. We can add natural players on the white line as wingers.
