Soccer: Defending 1 On 1 With A Goalkeeper

Two players line up on opposite sides of a square.

The attacking player dribbles the ball towards the centre before then attempting to stop the ball between one of the goals.

The goal nearest to the defender's starting point is worth 10 points as it is the hardest goal to stop the ball in. The middle goal is worth 5 and the top goal only 1 point.

Two players line up on opposite sides of the grid to each other, with a third player placed between them in goal.

Player 1 dribbles the ball around the cone and then tries to score in the goal.

Player 2 must also run around the far cone before then attempting to stop player 1 from scoring.

Player 1 has a ball; the other three balls are placed on discs on the end line.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 3, who must advance the ball to the opposite end line without being dispossessed of it by 1 or 2. Player 1 moves in to assume the correct defending position, forcing 3 in the direction of 2 by blocking the right side of the attacker. Players 1 and 2 combine to win the ball. If the defenders win the ball, have them attempt to knock a ball off a cone.

Both defenders start on the same side of the area.

Two teams line up side by side behind their cones. When the player with the ball sets off to run around the cone the drill is live.

The player with the ball must run around the cone and then try to score a goal in the defender's side goal by dribbling the ball across the line. This will score them a point.

The defenders have to try and force the player to run across their own goal line or tackle them and run the ball over the line themselves.

The winner is the first team to 3 goals. After this you can swap the roles around, with the attackers now defending and vice versa.
