This drill is a very fast paced1v1 or 2v2 game that focuses on aspects of the small sided game such as dribbling, passing, and scoring.
Drill Setup
Set up a 25 x 15-yard grid. You can adjust the size of the field based on the skill level of the players.
Place training sticks or a small goal at each end.
Drill Instructions
Players line up on each side.
The coach stands on the other sidelines with a supply of ball.
The coach plays a ball in the grid, and the first person from each line plays 1v1.
If a player scores, they stay on, and the other person leaves.
If the ball goes out of bounds, both players are "outta there," and a player from each team quickly enters the grid.
A ball is immediately played back into the game.
This is a very fast-paced game.
