This game-like drill creates a high-tempo match situation to challenge both attackers and defenders. Attackers learn how to break through a compact defense to create finishing chances on the big goal. Defenders focus on applying pressure, staying compact in central spaces, and protecting the penalty area. When defenders win the ball, they must transition immediately to find the two mini goals or connect with the neutral target. The neutral player keeps the pace high and gives both teams an outlet to reset and switch the attack.
This goalkeeping drill will focus on footwork as well as handling the ball. This is a great goalkeeper warm-up or agility drill to do during keeper training.
This 1v1 soccer battle drill will focus on the attacker's change of direction, change of pace, and burst of speed to the goal all while working on the defender's ability to close down the attacker quickly, reaction time, speed of recovery, and angles of defense.
