- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Set up two flat markers 10 metres apart. Behind one of the flat markers stand two mini goals side by side, alternatively dribbling goals, 5 metres apart.
Equipment: 2 flat markers, 2 mini goals, balls.
Players: At the flat marker further from the goals stands a player with a ball. At the flat marker nearer the goals stands a team-mate, with an opponent about one metre behind.
Procedure
- The team-mate without the ball gives a signal and moves 1 to 2 metres towards the passer.
- As soon as this player sets off, the opponent may follow.
- The player with the ball passes to the team-mate after the signal.
- The receiver now tries, with the opponent behind, to turn and to score in one of the two goals.
- If the opponent wins the ball, that player tries to take it to the flat marker further from the goals and receives one point for doing so.
Note: Drill idea by Eddie Plickat.
Tip
- The receiver should gain an advantage with body feints and skill moves.
- The passer should support the team-mate with clear communication.
- The opponent should keep an arm's length behind the attacker in order to stay able to react.
