OFTEN USED WITH...

Dribble or pass? 2 vs 1:

Players work in threes in this drill, 2 attackers trying to get past the single defender and score in one of the two goals.

The white player starts with the ball and dribbles towards the defender where they are presented with two options: They can either pass to the supporting player or take the ball themselves to go and score in one of the two corner goals.

Eliminating a Player

Move Along the Line:

4 players have to keep possession against 2 defenders with the restriction that the players in possession can only move on the line they are on. Swap players in the middle when they have taken the ball 5x.

Possession

Reverse Stick Repetition:

Player in the middle runs to receive the ball on his/her reverse stick side from one of the sides and then passes it on. He/she then runs out to receive the ball on the reverse again. Repeat.
