Movement before the pass - 1 vs 1, 1 v 1 skills Soccer

Description

Red player 1 stands on the red cone closest to the blue player.

When red 1 is ready they should run and tag red player 2. Red player 2 can try to win the ball once tagged.

The blue player then plays the ball towards red player 1 who receives the ball on the move.

Red 1 can choose to lay the ball back to Blue 1 or turn and try to score a goal by passing or running the ball through the goal where red 2 started.

Coaching Points

Red players 1 and 2 swap after red 2 wins the ball.

• Red players must move with aggression and determination
• Encourage movement towards other spots, not just back and forth, anything to shake off defender and become available for the pass
• To condition, make the other red player an active defender
• To condition, limit the amount of touches throughout the drill, ending with one-touch passing
• To condition, the blue player can play a lofted pass that the red player has to control
