1v1 Prevent The Space

Setup

You will require: 1 ball per 2 / 40 cones, Split into pairs, 1 ball per pair, 5 cones lined as gates between them

How it works

Player on the ball has to create space so that they can dribble through the gate, the defender needs to stay on front as much as possible to prevent this, rotate every 2 minutes or successful attacks

Coaching points

• Balance
• Coordination
• Slow down attacker
• Stay goal side
• Win ball back

Progressions

progression: Players start from a cone 5 yards back to mimic on pitch situation regression: Reduce number of gates available for the attacker
