1v1 Gimme (Shielding)

1v1 Gimme

Players in groups of two with one ball. Players attempt to possess the ball inside the playing area as long as possible. Defenders may win possession without kicking the ball out-of-bounds and keep it. Whoever has the ball at the end of 30 seconds wins. Play best of three and then switch partners, or switch partners each round.

Coaching Points:

  • Look up while dribbling to see where the defender is
  • Use changes of direction or other moves to evade the defender
  • Change speed after moves to escape
  • Shield the ball by placing your body between the defender and the ball
  • Shielding: Get low, arms out, always ready to shift positioning
  • Shielding: Keep a little distance between you and the ball so the defender can't kick between your legs
  • Don't shield for too long - protect the ball and then escape

Add Challenge: Rather than playing in separate groups, when a player loses their ball, they may take anybody's ball. Players will need to stay alert and look around the field while dribbling to identify defenders.

Team Gimme

Team Gimme

Two teams of players, one ball. Whichever team possesses the ball inside the playing area at the end of 30 seconds wins.

Coaching Points:

  • Look up while on and off the ball to see defenders and space
  • Shield the ball or use moves to protect it from opponents
  • Look up while shielding to see open teammates
  • Call for the ball if you are open
  • Communicate to the player on the ball about where to go, if a defender is nearby, etc.
  • Is it time to dribble, or is it time to pass?
  • Defensive team: Can you win the ball back quickly after losing possession?
  • Defensive team: Can you mark (guard) open attackers to deny passes or win the ball?
