SET UP.
A 20m x 20m grid with two small goals 12 yds apart on one sideline.
Red D (defender) lines up with a ball alongside Yellow A (attacker) with two small goals on an adjacent side of the grid.
There is a line marked by two cones halfway between the goals.
ACTION.
Red D lead passes Yellow Attacker A and overlaps to the goal side of A.
A speed dribbles at least to the marked midline and tries to score on either goal using U-turns, Stops & Starts, Feints or
Changes of Direction.
COACHʼS TIP.
Ask players to use specific feints as they start but then they are free to use any moves they wish.
If necessary make a 6m shooting line Attackers have to cross to shoot to encourage 1v1 engagement.
Encourage defenders to play full pressure defense.
Keep scores
PLAYERʼS TIP.
Try to use the moves at the start that Coach suggests.
Feel free to experiment and have fun.
