Drill Overview: 1v1
Setup
Add 2 x pop-up goals in designated shooting zones.
One blue player (passer) and one red player (attacker) begin each round.
A defender starts opposite the attacker.
How It Works:
Blue player passes the ball to the red attacker.
The attacker must take on the defender and score in a pop-up goal.
If the defender wins the ball, they can score
Coaching Points & Conditions:
Attackers:
Can you use a skill move to beat the defender (e.g., step-over, body feint)?
Attack with speed and purpose – use space and momentum.
Aim to unbalance the defender by changing direction and pace.
Time limit to score once receiving the ball – encourages quick, decisive play.
Defenders:
Can you close the space quickly and deny access to the shooting zone?
Stay low, balanced, and patient – don’t dive in.
Transition quickly when winning the ball – look to counter fast into the end zone.

Dribbling End Zone (10 mins)
Dribble & Breakout
Objective
To develop close control and dribbling skills using different surfaces of the foot.
To improve decision-making and awareness in tight spaces.
To accelerate with the ball effectively when transitioning into space.
To build confidence in using turns, tricks, and explosive movement with the ball.
Setup:
A central small square for close dribbling.
A white and a red end zone.
Each player has a ball and dribbles inside the small square.
Phase 1 – In the Square:
Players dribble inside, avoiding collisions.
Focus on close control, using all surfaces of the foot.
Turns and tricks encouraged.
Phase 2 – Breakout (on coach’s call):
On shout of "Red/White", players explode out of the square.
Aim: race to the relevant end zone and return quickly.
Emphasise using laces for speed and pushing the ball ahead.
Challenges & Conditions
Can we dribble using only inside/outside?
Can you do your favourite trick while keeping control?
Speed & Space Awareness:
Can we recognise when space opens up to go faster in the square?
Breakout Race:
Who can reach and return from end zone the fastest wins a point?
Progressions
Add passive defenders in the square to increase pressure.
Add active defenders to protect the end zone during the breakout phase.
Time-based: How many turn can do in 30 seconds?
Regressions
Increase the size of the central square to give more space.
Increase rest interval
Coaching Points
In the Square (Close Control)
Keep the ball close—small, frequent touches.
Vary the surface of the foot—inside, outside, sole.
Head up—constant scanning to avoid others.
Use turns to escape pressure.
Stay balanced and light on feet.
Breakout to End zone (Explosive Dribble)
Get the ball out of your feet—bigger first touch.
Use laces to push the ball into space.
Shift to running stride quickly.
