Organization:
Area: 18y x 15y
Set up field with three-yard-wide gates in each corner. Attackers on one side of the field, defenders on the other side. The 2v1 starts with a pass from one attacker to the other. The attackers scoring by dribbling the ball through one of the two gates. The defender can do the same after winning the ball; score by dribbling through one of the two gates. After several turns, rotate new defenders in. A turn is over when a goal is scored, or the ball goes over the endline. When the ball goes over the sideline, the defender dribbles the ball back in the attackers must pass the ball back in.
Game: Players keep track of the amount of goal scored, individually or as a team.
Variation: The defenders start the 2v1 with a pass to an attacker.
