Set-Up
3 players starting with a ball each, standing in between a set of cones plus a goalkeeper.
Description
Phase 1
The blue player, on the left, begins the drill by simply dribbling forward and then taking a shot at goal.
Phase 2
As soon as the first blue player has taken the shot, he/she must quickly turn around and start defending against the red player.
Now the red player will dribble out with the ball and must attempt to make space for a shot at goal.
Phase 3
When the attempt at goal has been taken, the blue player will now switch into attacking mode whilst the red player will become a defender.
So now, as the second blue player dribbles out and starts the attack, we have a 2v1 (+GK) situation with the 2 blues against the red player.
KEY DEVELOPING ASPECTS:
- Dribbling skills
- Decision making in attacking situations
- Body position when defending
- Quick transition between attacking defending and vice versa
- Finishing
Tip:
Give points to the players when they score a goal (as an individual and as part of a team in the 2v1) and when they defend successfully.
