1 vs. 1 to Goal


Drill Info:This is for ages 10, 12, 14, 16, 17 and up. Run this soccer drill with at least 3 players but no more than 10. When running this soccer drill take at least 20 minutes on a 1/2 field. The following equipment is needed:cones, goals, alternate jersey.

Setup:Create a 12 X 5 yard grid just inside the penalty box and assign 1 defender to this grid. Have a goalkeeper play in the goal. Place a cone 7 or 8 yards outside the grid where the remaining players must start with a ball.

Instructions:The defenders job is to stop the attackers from getting through the grid and out the other side while being only able to defending within the grid. The attacker’s role is to simply beat the defender and get a shot on goal. The attacker must attack out the back of the cones and not out the sides of the grid. Rotate the defenders every 1 to 2 minutes.

Variations:
When the attacking player is stopped by the defender, the attacker quickly becomes a defender trying to stop the next attacker in line.
In order to help continue the game:
~Use good control and keeping the ball close.
~ Make sure you try and have a good shot on the goal.
~ Try and beat the defender with speed.

~Technical Dribbling, Tactical Attacking, Tactical Role of Striker
