1v1 Options in a Rectangle

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players

Setup

A field is marked with cones. On each end of the field, a cone goal is set up. 8 field players position themselves according to the diagram on the field perimeter. The red players have a ball. To mark the approach line, a cone is placed on each sideline.

Procedure

Red player A1 sprints to the approach line, checks, and gets open. At that moment, player A2 passes the ball into his running path. At the same time, blue defensive player B1 starts to attack A1. The offensive player tries to turn toward the blue team's cone goal and score. If B1 wins the ball, he may finish on the opposite goal. If the ball goes out of bounds or the 1v1 lasts longer than 30 seconds, it is over and the next pair of players starts. After 3 minutes, the groups switch positions and thus the attacking rights change. If player A1 no longer wants to attack, he can pass the ball into his cone goal to switch with one of his teammates. This would mean, for example, that A2 attacks against B1. After 30 seconds, the player pair is automatically switched. Both teams count their goals. A goal only counts if the ball goes flat and without touching a cone into the goal. Alternative: - B passes the ball to A, who goes at B with speed. - After the opening pass, the passer may join the attack, creating a 2 vs 1. - After the opening pass, the passer and a second defensive player may join, creating a 2 vs 2.

Tip

- Precise, sharp passing into the attacker's run. - The offensive player must check at maximum speed. - Constantly demand feints. - The defensive player tries to win the 1v1 with ball possession. - The defender should close down the path to goal. Stand offset to the side so the attacker has to take the far-side route. - Disrupt the attacker's first touch to prevent him from turning and building up speed. - In the 1v1, the defensive player should try to get his body between the opponent and the ball. - 10 cones
