1v1 competing
Exercise description:
Set up in a 20x20. The coach has all the soccer balls. Four mini-goals are placed as shown.
1. The coach passes the ball to the attacker.
2. This triggers the defender from the right to sprint around the yellow pole and into the playing area.
3. A 1v1 is played.
4. Can the player score before the defender can stop it?
5. If the defender wins the ball, they can score in the mini-goals that are placed at an angle by the attackers.
6. When the exercise is over, the attacker moves to the defending end and the attacker moves to the open spot at the attacking end.
Coaching points:
