Two goals set up as a pitch
Three players
two balls
Phase 1 :
Blue plays a 1v1 against black 1 aiming to score in the goal
Phase 2 :
Black 2 passes the ball to Black 1 and play a 2v1 against blue
players return to same start point, rotate every 5 mins
Encourage skills for 1v1 - commit, off balance, eliminate
decision making in 2v1 - when and where to pass, take on a defender and shoot.
