- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Four cones mark the starting positions — one red and one yellow on each side. The cones on each side are given the numbers 1 and 2; numbers and colours must be identical diagonally opposite each other. There are two goals at the ends.
Equipment: 2 goals, 4 cones and one ball per player.
Players: The team is divided into two groups and spread across the four cones; every player has a ball at their feet. Plus goalkeepers.
Procedure
- The coach calls out a number or a colour.
- The first players at that position set off into the area with a ball.
- The players opposite set off into the area without a ball.
- This creates two 1 vs 1 situations.
- If the ball goes out of play or into the goal, play continues as 2 vs 2.
Tip
- Start the drill explosively in order to get into the dribble quickly.
- The defenders apply pressure immediately.
- Demand a quick reaction to losing possession and to the transition into the 2 vs 2.
