Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 1v1 or 2v2 Quick Defending Drill LFL

Screen 1 (20 mins)

Organisation: Divide the team into 2 groups (white and Red). A goalie in a big goal and 2 small goals outside the semi circle. The white team on the right starts with the ball. Player in front of the line passes the ball to the first player in front of the red team. He follows his pass around the cone and defends the red team player who dribbles the ball around the center cone on 1v1 situation to goal with a goalie. If the white team player wins the ball he counter to score on the pugg goals. Same set up on the left side and follows the same pattern. The red team player passes the ball out to the white team player in front of the line and follows his pass around the cone for a 1v1 situation.
