This 1 on 1 progression will focus on required dribbling skills, body feints, and the required burst of speed to beat a defender.
Drill setup- Create a 15X25 yard grid.
- The end-lines will serve as goals to begin.
- Have the attacker start at their end-line with the defender directly in front of the ball and attacker.
- Instruct the defender to not move until after the attacker has touched the ball.
- The attacker should use body feints to off-balance the defender, then push the ball past the standing defender with a burst of speed.
- The defender should attempt not to let the attacker reach the other end-line.
- Award a point each time the attacker reaches the end-line.
- After each attempt to beat the defender the attacker and defender should change roles, so each player gets a chance to even the score.
- In the same 15X25 grid, remove the defender's restrictions and continue to play 1v1 to the end-line.
- Add a small Pugg goal at each end-line and have the players play to the small target. If you don't have a Pugg goal, create a goal with cones, flags or training sticks.
