1 v 1 Attacking Exercises

Great site. An absolute must for coaches who are willing to change...
Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

A. Attacker starts just in front of a defender (attacker always on dugout side). They attempt to run the ball to the opposite end of the channel. Go again back the other way with same pair (attackers still on dugout side) then swap (after 2 attempts).

B.

In groups of 2 or 3. Attacker starts 2 metres in front of defender. 3rd player plays the ball into space - attacker must run to the ball and play it back to the 3rd player.

COACHING POINTS

A.

Attackers: recognise when to drive, when to cut inside or when to hold and roll. Change of pace.

Defenders: force the opponant to slow down. Channel into sidelines. Jab tackle without stick-tackle!

B. 

Attackers: have an idea of how you are going to change direction before you approach the ball. Where is the defender? Use your "back space".

If you get stuck, how do you shield the ball and throw the defender to create space?

Defenders: Get there quickly but don't sell yourself by diving in. Put yourself in a low, dynamic body position so you can react quickly and stay balanced.
