Analytical - 1v1 (15 mins)
Organization
- 2 fields, each 15x10
- One mini goal at one end of the area marked by cones
- 3 defenders and 3 attackers
- Attackers begin on their own goal line and defenders begin at far corner at goal end
- Balls kept behind attackers
Instructions
- The defender becomes active as soon as attacker touches the ball forward
- If the defender wins possession of the ball, the defender can attempt to score by dribbling ball over opposition's goal line
Progression
- An attacker can pass back to get second attacker into play. A second defender then becomes active making it 2v2
Coaching Emphasis
- Defender closes space quickly and as high as possible (preferrably past orange cones)
- Angle of approach
- Close down, slow down
