1 v 1

In a square 25 x 30 two teams face each other, standing at the side of each goal. The coach is in the centre with the footballs. The coach numbers each player in their team.
  1. The coach calls out a number, one player from each group runs from behind their goal to play 1 v 1 against each other.
  2. Players try to score past opposing GK.
  3. The drill continues until a goal is scored or the ball leaves the area.
  4. If the ball rebounds off the GK, or the GK saves a shot, play continues.
Focus on:
  • Awareness
  • Players being Positive, no fear.
  • Attack at pace.
  • Angles of defending.

Variation:

  • The Coach could also call out two numbers to play together.
  • The coach varies service into area.
