2 goal madness

The purpose of this 1v1 soccer game is to help players dribble and attack the space

• 7 x 10-yard area
• 1 soccer ball
• 8 cones (to make 4 goals/gates)
• 2 players

This will be a regular 1v1 soccer game, however, instead of defending 1 goal in the middle, the players will have to defend 2 goals in each of their corners.

If a player is able to dribble through either of the opposition’s gates they will get 3 points but if they manage to pass the ball through the gate they only get 1 point.

Goal kicks, corners, and throw-ins will be replaced with a player being able to dribble the ball back onto the pitch

• Dribble with your head up so you can see where the space and opposition player is
• Use a quick skill combined with a sharp change of direction to beat the defender
• Use a change of speed Accelerate away from the defender

• How can you see where the opposition and space are?
• What can you do to help beat the defender?
• After you have used a skill how can you get away from the defender?
