Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 1V1 Attacking

Main Theme

Organization: 20x30

Instructions:

1. 8 players in each area, divided into 2 teams of 3 with GK's at either end

2. Player starting with the ball comes out to initiate a 1v1 match-up

3. Three scenario outcomes for 1v1 match-up

If attacker scores - attacker and defender exit the field of play - attacker's teammate dribbles out starting a new match against new defender (make it/take it).

If attacker shoots and misses the net - the defensive team now becomes the attacking team, and the next person in the line dribbles out to start the match-up as the new attacker - the attacker who missed their shot will stay on the field as the defender, and looks to immediately press the other player high up the field.

If the ball goes out of play (not from a shot) during the match-up, both players exit the field, and the team that was on defense has the next player in line dribble out to start the match-up.
