1 vs. 1: Attacker with Back to the Goal

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

• 2 sets of red, blue, and yellow cones
• Divide the team evenly into defenders (yellow) and attackers (blue)

Procedure

• The attackers position themselves evenly, each with a ball, level with the two red cones. One defender stands behind each attacker.

• On the coach's starting signal, 1 vs. 1 situations begin simultaneously. The attackers try to dribble through the two blue cones, while the defenders attempt to win the ball to subsequently dribble through the yellow cones.

• Players are only allowed to act within their individual 1 vs. 1 situation. Once all duels are completed, attackers and defenders switch roles, and the exercise starts again.

Tip

Coaching Points

• Maintain an arm's length of distance
• Don't rush to attack the ball
• Pay attention to the ball's position. Don't be fooled by feints
• As soon as the attacker attempts to turn, challenge the ball
