10 x 20 yards, 1 vs. 1
Player 1 passes ball to Player 2
Player 1 defends against Player 2
Player 2 tries to score through yellow cones; while Player 1 defends
If Player 1 wins the ball; dribble ball across end line
Rotate players
Progression: 2 vs 1 and then 2 vs 2 (move cones out for more space)
Coaching Points: Defenders should keep their eye on the ball; Defenders want to be close to the attacker, close enough so that in a game the attacker would need to look down at the ball; Balanced body positioning and stance to direct player; Stay low, shuffle feet (don’t cross feet up)
