STATION 2: 1v1 Dribble Gates

• Set Up: 1-2 10yd x 20yd fields
• Cones: 24
• Balls: ~8

Coaching Emphasis:

• The ball should not be more than one step from the body of the attacking player (no big kicks)
• Go at the defense (delay, deny, disrupt) with an arcing run
• Shape them away from your goal, ideally to their weak foot
• Do not stab, stand them up
• Attackers pull a move and explode by the defense to goal, change of direction change of pace!
• Eyes up, ball within one step of the body at all times

Progression: Blue passes to red and closes down defensively, guarding his end line. Red attempts to dribble past blue and dribble over the end line.

Players will switch lines when they are done.
