1v1 Transitional Game

Setup

You will require: 2 balls / 15 cones / 2 mini goals, Create an area 15x10 yards, game will have attackers and defenders, attacker and defender start at opposite ends, at the defenders end there is a mini goal on each side, all attackers have a ball

How it works

The attacker dribbles across the area and has to beat the opposing defender and get past the end line, the defender has to try and win possession and score in one of the two side goals, play should be continuous, rotate attackers with defenders every 2 minutes
