Organization
Create a playing area of 24x15 meters using markers. On both short sides of the area place a goal (the size of them should be right for the age group you are training). Two goalkeepers defend them. Divide the field in half on the long sides. On one short side, on the corners, create two starting gates using cones. Divide players into two teams: one team of attackers with the ball (red), the other one of defenders without the ball (white).
Description
- Each red player starts with the ball
- On the coach's signal, the first red player drives the ball quickly over the halfline and then decides which goal to shoot at
- The first defender starts at the same time trying to recover the ball, with the possibility to shoot at the goal on the opposite side from the one chosen by the attacker
- Continuous challenges between pairs
Rules
- Both players start on the coach's signal
- Alternate roles for players at each repetition (attacker and defender swap positions)
- Free number of ball touches
Variations
- Two players per team start at the same time to create a 2 vs 2 situation with the obligation to try to score after passing the ball to their teammate at least once. If one of the goalkeepers saves the ball the action keeps on going but the roles switch and the aim is to shoot at the goal on the opposite side
Coaching Points
- For 1 vs 1 duels encourage dribbling, fantasy and unpredictability to avoid the opponent while playing at speed
- Pay attention to the defender's positioning and how red players attack
- Encourage ball protection using arms and body to defend the ball
- Encourage quick ball driving with feints and changes of direction
