Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Dribbling: Activity (1v1)

Activity 2 (15 mins)

Organization:

1. 30x10 area set up as shown

2. Three defenders, one for each zone

3. One ball per attacking player

Instructions:

1. Attacking player will try to dribble through each zone without getting their ball kicked out of the zone by the defender.

2. If the attacker makes it safely to the other side without getting their ball kicked out then they receive one point. 

3. Defending player must stay in their own zone.

4. Once the attacking player's ball has been kicked out and/or attacker has made it safely through each zone, then the next attacking player can enter the zone and begin their turn.

5. Defenders will defend each zone for one rotation of attackers then three new defenders will take their place. 

Coaching Points:

1. Positive first touch out of the feet

2. Play with the laces of the foot closet to the ball

3. Fewest number of touches to cover the distance quickly

4. Smaller touches as the space becomes less

Progressions:

1. P - Add second attacker

2. P - Make it a team game instead of an individual

3. R - Add safe space between each zone.
