Keeping possession in the 1 v 1 (turning away)

This Sportplan session works on the dribble dash; running at speed with the ball under control towards defenders, with the choice of either taking on the man on or turning away and passing the ball to a supporting player.
Keeping possession is one of the best ways to stifle and tire out your opposition. If they don't have the ball how can they score? That's the lesson in this session which works on close control whilst also getting players to weigh up their options and not simply run recklessly forward.
This all ages ability session has been designed to improve players' stick work and decision making. To wake your players up we start things off with a figure of eight dribbling relay which leads into a forehand and reverse stick dribbling drill. After this fast paced race we then focus on turning back with the ball under control before replacing the cones which represent defenders with real players in the penultimate exercise. |
