Love the site, it's a fantastic learning tool!

DESCRIPTION

Players split to pairs. They play a 1v1 and their aim is to protect and shield their ball. Defenders try to gain possesion and follow the same sequence. 

IMPORTANT TIPS

  • Control the ball using the foot which is not close to the defender.
  • Be aware where the defender is and turn your body in the correct direction (sideways).
  • Use your shoulder to create space from the defender.
  • Always keep your head up to be aware of the defenders movement.

  • Use of the shoulder
  • Correct foot on the ball
