Soccer drill: 1 vs.

Suitable for the following techniques: attack

1 vs.

A 1 vs. 1 exercise in which the defending red team plays the ball in to the attacking blue team.
  • When the attacking blue side has the ball, it looks for a 1 vs. 1 with the player from team red.
  • If either team scores, both players switch sides so player red goes to blue and player blue goes to red.
  • It may be that a red player takes the ball away. In that case, they may score on team blue's small goal.
  • Team blue must score on a big goal that also has a goalkeeper.
  • The players keep track of their own points and the three who finish last do 10 push ups.
Game rules:
  • Ball out are 2 new players.
  • If the goalkeeper catches the ball, it is play on so it is a 2 against 1 situation.
  • Goal is also 2 new players.
Points of attention:
  • Make sure the attackers dribble in at a high pace.
  • Make sure the defenders defend forward.
  • Make sure the defenders have a good stance.
