1v1 Shot Blocks

Setup

You will require: 1 ball per 2 / 1 goal / 2 tall cones / 12 cones, Create an area approximately 12x10 yards, Have a goal with a goalkeeper on one side and an endline with large cones on the opposite, Split into attackers and defenders where defenders start with a ball, Attackers start on the endline while defenders start halfway up one of the sides

How it works

The defender passes to the attacker on the endline, the attacker attempts to dribble towards goal and score, the defender must cover the space before attempting to win the ball, if the defender wins then they must dribble past the endline

Coaching points

• Recover run
• Side on
• Stay goal side
• Slow down attacker
• Play quick
• Transition quickly

Progressions

progression: Make it a 2v1 in favour of the attackers regression: Have defender start in the center rather than the side
