Organization:
Area: 15y x 15y
Set up large cones in the grid. Work with two groups. Players dribble to the first cone and perform a 1v1 move, followed by a quick dribble to the next cone. At the next cone, the players make a turning move and join the opposite line to change directions. Use a variety of 1v1 moves and turns.
Coaching Points:

-
Knees bent, on the balls of feet
-

For 1v1 Move Attacking:
-

-
Head up, see where the defender is
-
Begin the move at the correct distance from the defender
-
Quality of the move: weight and direction of the two touches, use of upper body to emphasize the fake
