1v1 To Single Goal

Players Required: 
4
Balls Required: 
2
Goals Required: 
1

Set Up:

  • Set up the game as shown with all the balls with the line behind the goal.

  • The game starts with a pass from the first person in the defending line to the first person in the attacking line.

  • The attacker tries to score on the small goal. If defender wins the ball, they try to dribble over attacker’s endline for a point.

  • If the ball goes out of bounds or a goal is scored, the game is over and next two players start. Players switch lines after each turn.

  • As soon as ball goes out, the next two have to be ready to play. Get game moving fast.

Coaching Points:

  • The pressuring defender needs to approach with speed, but then slow down as they get closer so attacker isn’t able to run by them.  

  • Try to make play predictable by forcing the defender one way or the other.

  • Don’t dive in. An attacker will eventually make a mistake, so just keep in between him and the goal. Wait for the attacker to take a bad touch.​​​
