Set Up:
There are 10-16 players set up inside the 18, playing 1v1 in the penalty area and in the two flank zones. To begin the drill, the Feeder passes to the attacker in either flank zone. From there, the attacker must dribble thru the gate and into the penalty area. The defender may only move laterally on his line to defend. Once the ball is thru the gate, the teams play 2v2 to completion. If the defenders win the ball, they can score in the small goals set up at the top of the penalty area. On goals and balls put out of play the Feeder re-starts the drill.
Coaching Points:
1. Attack the defender at speed and put him back on his heels.
2. The 2nd attacker should work back to the ball in order to create 2v1’s.
3. Wait for the play to develop, and then decide on a near post or far post run.
Progressions:
1. Start with a 2v2 in the penalty area.
