By giving a slight disadvantage to the defenders, this 1v1 drill helps work on both ball control at full speed for the attacker and delayed defensive situations for the defender.
On a half-field, place two cones spaced 10m apart, about 30m from the goal. The cone closest to the goal should be 2m behind the other. Form two teams: Attackers and Defenders. The coach positions on the attacker's side with a supply of balls.
The procedure is simple:
- The coach throws the ball to the attacker in different trajectories.
- The defenders start 2m behind the attackers.
- The attacker must dribble the ball at full speed towards the goal and attempt to score before being caught.
- The defender must contain and control without diving in, maintaining balance and guiding the opponent.
Vary the ball trajectories to work on trajectory reading and reaction:
- Bouncing pass
- Lofted pass
- Driven pass
- Aerial ball
Progression
- Variation 1: Throw the ball further to emphasize sprinting.
- Variation 2: Ask the goalkeeper to come out high on the shooter to work on shooting under pressure.
Objectives
Work on reaction speed, high-intensity dribbling, resistance to defensive recovery, and decision-making in 1v1 situations.
