In this dribbling drill, since we put the players in a 2v1 situation this will help you emphasize whether or not the two attacking players should dribble or pass.

Setup

Create a 30X15 yard grid, and split it in half with cones to make two adjacent grids touching on one side. Place two attackers on one side of the grid with the goal on the other touchline opposite the attackers. A single defender should be placed on the side of the middle line. You can use a Pugg Goal in place of the larger goal and goalkeeper.

Instructions

The first attacking player plays to the second attacking player. Once the pass is made, the defender becomes active and defends the attacking players. The defender is only allowed to defend in the 1st grid. Instruct the attacking players to take on the defender and attempt to score a goal. The attacker in control must decide whether he should pass or dribble.

Variations

• Use a Pugg Goal in place of the larger goal and goalkeeper.
