Description

In this session, we want to improve the player's ability to go 1v1 to create goal-scoring chances. The ability to unlock the game in a 1v1 moment is critical to a team's success towards attacking the opposition's goal. The core skills of this session incorporate all aspects, and players should be encouraged to role-model their favourite 1v1 attacking footballer.

Skill Intro: 1v1 Read and React (10 mins)

ORGANISATION:

Set up stations with 4–5 players per group and evenly spaced cones (side and middle).
One attacker tries to reach a cone without being tagged; side cones = 1 point, middle cone = 3 points.
Defender earns 1 point for tagging; switch roles after each round.

PROGRESSION:

Include the ball (see diagram 2). The defender passes the ball to the attacker. The attacker must dribble to a cone.

COACHING POINTS:

"How can you trick him/her?" - Encourage players to take on an opponent.
"Get free to score" - encourage positioning, duels or movement to score goals.
"Take the shot" - encouraging a goal or end outcome after a 1v1 duel.

Skill Game: Simultaneous 1v1 duels (15 mins)

ORGANISATION:

Set up two teams for 1v1 duels, each attacking the goal in front of them.
After each duel, the attacker becomes the defender for the next opponent from the other team.
Once the first 1v1 is played (A), the player who attacks first (blue) becomes the defender, with a player from the opposite team (red) dribbling into play (B).

PROGRESSION:

If the defender wins the ball, they can score in their respective goal.
Rule where the attacker must score within 3 metres of the goal.
Change the starting positions of each team.

COACHING POINTS:

"How can you trick him/her?" - Encourage players to take on an opponent.
"Get free to score" - encourage positioning, duels or movement to score goals.
"Take the shot" - encouraging a goal or end outcome after a 1v1 duel.

SSG: Score and put the cone on! (20 mins)

ORGANISATION:

Play a 4v4+2 game with neutral players out wide; adjust numbers as needed. Teams aim to score and place cones on a pole behind the goal they’re attacking.
Each time an attacking player scores, they must run and put one cone on the pole behind the goal they are attacking, before returning to play.
This allows the defenders who conceded a quick opportunity to counterattack with an extra number.

PROGRESSION:

If an attacker beats two defenders and scores without passing the ball, they can put two cones over the pole.
Add extra neutral players or allow them to come inside.

COACHING POINTS:

"How can you trick him/her?" - Encourage players to take on an opponent.
"Get free to score" - encourage positioning, duels or movement to score goals.
"Take the shot" - encouraging a goal or end outcome after a 1v1 duel.
