Small-Sided Game: 1 vs 1
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point, End
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Cones mark out the playing area; there is a mini goal at each end.
Equipment: 2 mini goals, cones and at least one ball — the more the better, in case balls go wide of the goal.
Players: Two teams.
Procedure
- Player 1 opens with a pass to Player 2.
- Player 2 takes the ball in their stride and, as the striker, tries to score against the defending player — Player 1. If the ball is won, Player 1 can also score.
- If a player scores a goal, a second player from the opposing team comes into the playing area, so that a numerical advantage is created.
- If the team with the numerical advantage scores, the first player leaves the playing area and the other team gains an extra player.
- If the ball goes out of play over the goal line or the touchline, the drill restarts with an opening pass in a 1 vs 1.
Tip
- The defenders should close down the distance to the attacker immediately.
- When outnumbered, drop back and defend the space in front of the goal.
