Activity 2 +1 progression - 1v1 with Server & GK (15 mins)

1v1 (with server and GK)

 

Narrow pitch (orange cones). Sever/end zone (white cones)
  • One GK
  • One defender
  • One attacker

Server plays into attacker who bounces the ball back and then moves to left or right to create angle to receive the next pass.

Server plays again, at this point the defender can close down the attacker and they play out 1v1.

Play through until the ball goes out of play or a goal is scored.

Server becomes attacker, attacker becomes defender, defender moves around the field of play to join the back of the queue.

 

Point System:

  • Attacker 1 point for a goal
  • Attacker 2 points if they beat the defender and score
  • Defender 2 points if they win the ball back and get dribble it into the end zone

Progression 1 - Server joins the attacker to play 2v1
