Flying 1v1

Set up: Make two fields, with a mini goal at the end of each field. Include a cone line a little ways out from the goal. Two lines opposite of the goals.

Drill: Players play 1v1 against each other. The attacker has to cross the cone line in order to score. Once play is finished, the attacker quickly rotates and becomes the defender for the next player in line. Defender retrieves the ball, and returns to the back of the line.

Focus: Good defensive posture, closing quickly, transitioning to defense, not diving in
