Soccer Exercise
1 on 1 - Wingers – Wide Area Play
- Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point, End
- Number of Players 6 - 9 players
Setup
- 2 Marker Cones
- 1 Goal
- 4 Training Poles
- Set up 2 training pole-goals of 7 meter width
- 6-10 Balls
- Jerseys in 2 different colors (4 each)
- Construct a pitch of 25 x 45 meters
- Divide players into 2 teams of 4 field players and 1 keeper each
Procedure
Player A and Player B, playing for the same team, are positioned at the pole-goals on the far side of the pitch. All other players begin in the penalty area. The exercise starts when the coach passes the ball to either Player A or Player B. Their team plays on the actual goal, the other team attempts to dribble through one of the pole-goals – the result is a 4 on 4 match. A turn is over when a goal is scored, the ball goes out of bounds, is dribbled through a pole-goal, or after 30 seconds have passed. Should the defensive side succeed in their dribbling, both teams switch positions and start the exercise again.
Tip
For Players A and B:
- Accept passes into your forward movement and increase tempo
- Engage opposing players in a steep tackle and monitor their movement
- Abruptly change direction or use a feint to overcome the opposing player
- Avoid giving your opponent a second chance of a confrontation (maintain speed, cross their pathway with pace and quickly search for a finish)
- Only move into the middle of the pitch if there is enough open space
