Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 2v1 Target Reaction.

2v1 Target Reaction (10 mins)

Method:

The drill has 2 teams v each other with goalkeeper neutral.

One player from each team goes to top of 18 yard D.

The coach now passes from “A” to the left or right.

Which ever player receives the ball they immmediately dribble in to create the 2v1.

The other player now must react as a defender.

Once you have been a dribbling player you then become one of the two and the defending player goes to end of your line. 

This rotation continues for drill.

Coaching Points:

The drill works on movement and reactions of the first two players.

How do they react to been the attacker and defending player?

What movement do they make to receive?

The dribbling player may also have the chance of a quick pass to the forward as the defending player may be slow in reacting.

This ensures quick and decisive play.
