Spatial Orientation with 1 vs 1

Pitch: Mark out an area of 20 x 20 metres with four cones. In the middle of each side stands a mini goal, next to it a flat marker identifies that goal in a separate colour.

Equipment: 4 cones, 4 flat markers in four colours, 4 mini goals, bibs, balls.

Players: One player waits in the centre and wears a separate bib colour, four players stand with a ball next to the mini goals and are identified by the letters A to D. The coach stands beside the playing area.

• The coach loudly calls out the letter of one of the outside players.
• The player called passes the ball to the centre player and at the same time calls out one of the four goal colours.
• The centre player takes the ball towards the goal named, goes into the 1 vs 1 against the player standing there and tries to score.
• After the finish or a loss of possession the centre player and the passer swap positions.

Scoring: The points scored are counted, the winner may set the group an extra task.
