Drills: 1 vs 1
1v1 to Four Gate Goals
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.
1v1 with two pairs
There are two 1v1 games happening simultaneously in the area. One pair plays to gate goals (dark grey and red in the image, with two gate goals at each end that can be used), and the other pair plays to small goals (blue and yellow in the image). When the defender steals the ball, the direction of play changes normally, and the situation is played out. After each situation, players switch to the queue at the other end, changing roles for the next round. At the coach's instruction, those who played to gate goals switch to playing to small goals, and vice versa.
1v1 to side gate goals
Coach passes the ball to one of the sides, making the player with the ball the attacker and the player from the opposite side the defender. Play 1v1 where either gate goal can be used. If the defender steals the ball, roles switch and the situation is played out.
