Defenders v Attackers

Organisation

Bib up 2 groups of 6 Defenders and 6 Attackers and tell each group to number eachother randomly 1-6, set up the defenders on the corner of the 18 Yard area with footballs and the attackers on the edge of the centre circle, get yourself in position to be able to see all and randomly shout a number 1-6 here I have called number 1, defender 1 plays the ball to attacker 1 and moves into position in the contact zone, Attacker 1 controls the ball and dribbles toward the contact zone, once in the contact zone its a 1v1 situation, the aim for the defender is to tackle the attacker and play the ball into either of the mini goals to score a point, the aim for the attacker is to dribble past the defender and score a goal past the goalkeeper for 1 point, repeat untill all players have had 2 turns then swap groups over so that the defenders can have a turn at attacking and attackers defending.
