The drill begins with the two initial players from each line preparing to sprint towards the goal, keeping their eyes in a straight line towards the goal. The coach initiates by delivering a pass in front of the players. As the players see the ball coming from behind, a 1v1 situation unfolds toward the goal. Once the ball either finds the back of the net or goes out of bounds, the participating players return to the line, making way for a new pair to engage in the drill. Watch out for players committing fouls during 1v1 situations. Encourage players to stay on their toes, maintaining a state of readiness to receive the ball. The drill should be seen as inspiration. So feel free to adapt the drill to suit your team’s specific needs or focus areas.
At the signal, from left to right, the attacker begins a drive to end up resolving a 1v1 situation against the goalkeeper. The defender, who comes out a few meters further back, must try to reach and prevent the shot. If you manage to steal, you must drive to one of the escape areas. RULES: It cannot be defined until you have entered the area. The attacker of the next cone cannot leave until the action of the previous cone has finished.
In a 10x12 rectangle, 1vs1 duels are played with the aim of progressing through space and finishing by throwing between the 10-metre line. Throwing is only allowed from the 5-metre line. The ball holder starts the game from one of the sides. The game ends when the ball leaves the rectangle, is stolen by the defender or a goal is scored. The task is self-regulating so that another pair waits outside the square.
