Soccer: 1v1

Split the team into two groups on either side of the pitch, other than on goalkeeper and one defender.

The front player from the left side will pass the ball to the front player from the group opposite, with the receiver running around the cone before receiving the ball.

This player will now attempt to take on the defender and beat score.

The drill then starts again from the other side.

Position 2 teams of 6 players in opposite corners of the same end line and number players on each team from 1 to 6.

Place a gate (2 cones, 3 yards apart) at the opposite end of the area to the goal. Position the coach as a goalkeeper in the goal.

The coach calls out a number from 1 to 6. The respective players from each team run with the ball following the directional arrow as shown in the diagram, to the gate at the end of the grid.

The first ball to cross through the gate is the ball that is used (the other one can be discarded).

The players then compete in a 1 vs 1 to get a shot on goal.

Play 1 v 1 for a set period of time, with players trying to take on their opponent and score between the cones.

At the end of the game, the winning player moves up (left) a pitch to take on someone else, while the loser moves down (right) a pitch.

The player on the top pitch stays at the top if he wins, and the player at the bottom pitch stays there if he loses.

Players start on cones on the opposite side of the grid.

Player 1 starts with the ball and passes it to player 2. As soon as player 2 touches the ball, player 1 can try to win the ball.

Player 2 must try and dribble to any of the 3 spare cones in the grid. Player 2 scores one point for beating their opponent to either of the cones on the side and two points if he dribbles the ball around player 1 to the cone at the top of the area.

Repeat the practice with player 1 in possession.
