Set Up:

There are 17 players set up in the attacking third, with a 2v1 in the penalty area and lines at the cones. The attacker begins play with a speed dribble to the corner of the penalty area, and the defender can move with the attacker’s first touch.  After the attacker gets past the corner, he can pass or dribble into the penalty area. If the defenders win the ball, they can score in the two small goals placed just outside of the penalty area. Upon completion, the drill re-starts with a dribbling run from the opposite corner. The two teams switch starting positions after ten minutes.

Coaching Points:

1.  Use feinting and dribbling moves to create enough space to turn towards goal.

2.  Look for the wall pass combination with a teammate jumping out to the 18.

3.  Always look for your shot first. If it isn’t there, look for an open teammate.

Progressions:

1.  Progress to 2v2 in the penalty area.
