In this drill, players practice the run-around movement in a 2v1 situation and aim to score.
1. The drill begins with the red player passing to one of the attacking players.
2. The attacking player (blue in the image) passes to their teammate at the adjacent cone.
3. The player who receives the ball (black) starts dribbling and the defender (red) begins pressing. The blue player makes a run-around movement by circling behind the black player's cone and offering a new passing option. The attacking player with the ball chooses between dribbling or passing.
Quality factors
Ball carrier's awareness: Has the defender closed the passing lane or is there space to dribble?
Quick and controlled finishing: First touch toward the goal and shoot quickly, before the defender can block.
Key questions
How do I recognize whether it's better to pass or dribble?
Can I use feints before passing or dribbling to gain an advantage?
