The attacker in this drill should feint in an attempt to confuse the defender before passing the defender on their stronger (throwing) side, so for a right handed player this would be the attacker's right hand side, and shooting on goal.
If working with a large group have all your players run one at a time at the defender before shooting on goal, if working with smaller groups set up small 1 vs 1 drills.
Players should:
Catch the ball in the air, land on both feet with bent knees and feet shoulder width apart.
Players should keep still for a very short moment to 'fix' your defender before then first making one small step (feint) to the left.
The 2nd step should be a fast and aggressive one with your right foot, which then takes the attacker past the defender.
From this point players can:
The defender must step left / right before the attacker reaches them. The attacker must read the movement and feint in the same direction, before moving into the space.
