1v1 to Four Gate Goals

CoachTruly

Description: The drill can be done from both the attacker's and defender's perspective, in which case the coaching points change. The coach passes the ball to a player in one of the lines, making that player the attacker, while the first player in the other line becomes the defender. The attacker tries to score by dribbling through one of the two gate goals on the other side. If the defender manages to steal the ball, they become the attacker aiming for the gate goals on the opposite side.
Coaching key points: Attacking: Rhythm changes, deception, long and short touches, first touch Defending: Defensive stance, use of arms and body, pressing
Key questions: How do you approach the opponent? How do you get the ball? What do you do if you lose the ball?
