Recovery Runs 1v1

Setup

You will require: 1 ball each / 2 mini goals / 2 cones, Set 1 defender to protect two goals that 8 meters apart, divide attackers to two cones on opposite sides of the area

How it works

Play starts with attacker A trying to score in goal A, defender must protect and win possession, as soon as the ball is won or it leaves play, player B will attack the opposite goal, the defender needs to be active and recover to the other side to protect the goal

Coaching points

• Stay goal side
• Recover run
• Tackle timing

Progressions
