Soccer: 1v1 in Pairs

Develop your keepers mindset to stay on their feet for as long as possible and to stay big in 1v1?s and make the attacker make a decision.

Players carry out the commands from the coach. The commands are as follows:

• Turn
• Dive left
• Dive right

They must react as quickly as possible.

Working in twos, with one ball, the keeper must catch the feed into their stomach, throw it back and then backtrack around each pole.

After they've run around the pole, taking small and speedy steps they move out ready to take the next feed.

The keeper works their way around the circle and must react to three different types of feed which they must try to catch/stop and then return the feeder.

The first feed is a simple chest-height catch.

After this first stop the keeper then jogs around two cones before sharply changing direction and diving low to catch the second feed.

After this the keeper quickly gets back to their feet and jogs around the next cone before then diving to catch the third feed.
