1v1 to 2v1 to gates (15 mins)

Set up:

30x20 field

4 gates (2x2)

30 cones

8 balls

3 sets of pinnies

Instructions:

- Defending player (1) passes the ball diagonally across to the first attacking player in line.

- Two attackers attempt to score by dribbling through the two gates in front of them.

- If the defender wins the ball, they can then attempt to get through the two gates in front of their team.

- Play continues until the ball goes out or players dribble through the gates for a point.

**Progression:

- Add a second defender that comes in to defend from (2) after the attacking players cross the cones at half

Coaching Points:

Attack

- Change of direction, change of pace

- First touch towards the opponent (Open foot to 90 degrees)

- Use the gates to unbalance defenders (Attack one to open up the other)

- Create a 2 vs 1 with overlap and underlap

Defend

- Defenders close down (big steps, small steps, jockey)

- Defenders make the attack predictable

- We must defend well in training to improve our 1v1 attack. Once we improve the attack, we must improve the defending

If there are too many payers, mirror the session into two grids. Demo off one grid
