Eliminating a Player

1v1 defence in box:

The front player in the cones is the attacker and they have to move around to create some space for themselves. They then receive the ball from the player at the front of the queue and have to turn, beat the defender and then shoot at goal. The attacker then becomes the defender, the defender goes to the back of the queue and the person at the front of the queue becomes the attacker.

1v1 box:

Try and play 1v1 from three different positions.
One player at a time rotates clockwise to the back of next group.

Eliminating a Player

1v1 on both sides:

The attacker tries to keep the ball on their strong side. The attacker becomes the new defender and the new defender gets the ball and rotates to the next queue.

As soon as the practice is running remove the cones and allow the defenders to try and win the ball anywhere.

Both sides can start at the same time.
