ORGANIZATION:
Set up a rectangle of 20 x 15. Attackers and defenders either score by dribbling the ball over the end line or passing into small goals.
Change the positions of the attackers and defenders to create new attacking situations.
2v1 Variation A:
The attacker starts halfway the grid, with the defender marking tight. Attacker must get open by checking away/into the ball first followed by run into space. After the pass, play 2v1.
2v1 Variation B:
The defender starts deep and gives the attacker space. Attacker must ask for the ball to be played to the feet. Attacker must receive the ball facing forward. Quick attack. After the pass, play 2v1.
2v1 Variation C:
Attacker starts down low with the defender marking tight. Make a combination play with the other attacker. After the pass, play 2v1.
FOCUS POINTS:
First Defender:
- Pressure the opponent on the ball, the first attacker.
- Run out, pressure the ball, but slow down when nearing the attacker.
- Staggered stance with toes at a 45-degree angle.
- Bent knees, weight on the balls of the feet.
- Steal the ball at the right moment.
