Hi Gethin, to make the 1 vs 2 Attacking A Goal drill more challenging for the defender, you can implement the following strategies:
- Limit Defender Movement: Restrict the defender's movement to a smaller area, forcing them to rely more on positioning and anticipation rather than speed.
- Increase Attacker Speed: Encourage attackers to move at higher speeds, forcing the defender to react more quickly.
- Introduce a Second Ball: Allow attackers to use a second ball if the first is lost, keeping the defender constantly engaged.
- Add a Time Constraint: Give attackers a limited time to score, increasing the pressure on the defender to intercept quickly.
These adjustments can help enhance the difficulty for the defender in this drill. For more details, you can refer to the drill in the drill library 1 here.
