Soccerexercises for u15
- In this game 2vs1 is played in two squares
- The two squares are split by a strip in which an attacker and a defender start
- The attacker must be played into this lane by his/her team-mate who dribbles into it
- The defender tries to prevent this
- The attacker who is played into the lane can rebound or turn on the ball
- The defender in the box is only allowed to defend in the box and in the front part of the pitch
- The defender in the second box may only defend there
- In this way, getting free in a small space, shielding the ball, rebounding under pressure, opening up under pressure and playing out a 2vs1 situation are trained
- When the defenders take the ball away, the 2vs1 situation changes into a 2vs2 situation and everyone can come into all the squares
- The defenders can then make a point by scoring in the opponent's goal
