1v1 to Goal, #3
1v1 to Goal, #3
Set Up:
There are 12-15 players set up in the attacking third, with lines starting at the cones. In this drill, the attackers are stationed at the outside cones, three yards closer to the end line than the defenders. The Feeder begins play with a thru pass to the attacker, who then goes to goal 1v1. If the defender wins the ball, he can score in the two small goals set up just outside the penalty area. Upon completion, the Feeder re-starts play with the pair of players on the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. If the defender takes a bad angle, look to touch the ball in behind him and run past.
2. Your last dribble touch before shooting should improve your shooting angle.
3. Put yourself between the defender and the ball after you dribble past him.
Progressions:
1. Begin play with a 50-50 ball.
