DESCRIPTION

Attackers take it in turns to dribble towards the defender and take them on in a 1 vs 1.

COACHING POINTS

Players should use a fake pass or a feint (change of direction) to get past their defender.

Progression:

At first defenders should be lenient and let the attackers get past them with minimal resistance. As players grow in confidence though you can increase the role of the defender.
