2v1 to Goal

Setup

You will require: 1 ball per 2 / 1 goal / 16 cones, Create a 20x15 area with a goal at one end, 1 defender in front of goal, two cones on opposite side for waiting attackers

How it works

Attackers start on cones or poles, they attack a defender 2v1, create the open and shoot to score, non shooter should position for a rebound

Coaching points

  • Head up dribble
  • Timing of pass
  • First time
  • Follow shot
  • Head over ball

Progressions

progression: Create a 3rd Attacker and 2nd Defender for a 3v2 regression: Defender has seconds to win the ball (Makes it easier for attackers to play around them)
