1v1 + support player

CoachTruly

Description: 1v1 drill with a support player. The player in possession aims to keep the ball as long as possible. The player without the ball in the area tries to win the ball and switch roles. Outside the area there is one support player to help the player in possession. The player in possession can pass the ball to the player outside the area to keep it 'safe' momentarily and move to a new position to receive the ball again from the support player. The drill can be played in one-minute intervals as a competition. The player who maintained possession longer wins.
Coaching key points: Shielding the ball Using arms in shielding
Key questions: On which side do you keep the ball compared to the opponent? How can you utilize the support player?
