Organization:

Set up a line of cones about 25 yards from goal, with the attacker starting just behind the cones and the defender starting five yards behind him.

Description:

The attacker and the defender play the ball back and forth using one touch passes. The attacker can turn to goal at any time, touching the ball to the right or the left and dribbling around the end of the cone line. As soon as the attacker turns, the defender can chase him straight back towards goal. Play continues 1v1 to goal from there.

Focus Points:

• Concentration and reaction

• Shielding the ball

• Dealing with the GK

• Getting the angle on the attacker
