1v1, focus on action

Explanation:
  • The 2 slanting continuous lines are 2 mini goals
  • The dotted line is the 'middle line' to get the right of attack.
  • 4 to 8 players, in 2 teams or each player for himself
  • Team/player with most points after a certain time/ number of points wins
Aim of the game:
  • Blue plays the ball in to red
  • Red has to dribble over the centre line to score in 1 of the 2 goals
    • If he scores, he gets a point
    • If blue takes the ball away, he can also score and thus gets a point
  • When a point is scored or the ball is out both players join the other row and the next 1v1 starts.
Important:
  • This exercise is about making an action.
  • Therefore choose a certain move that the attackers can use to get past the defender
    • If the attacker does this and scores from it: 2 points.
  • The defender can never get more than 1 point when he scores.
  • The attacker only gets 2 points if he passes the defender with this move
    • if he already passed and then makes the move, he gets only 1 point
Variations:
Movements which can be trained are:
  • Single scissors
  • Double scissors
  • Step over
  • Zidane-turn
  • Elastico/akka
  • Reverse elastico/akka
  • Iniesta/La croqueta
  • Ball roll + Ronaldo chop
  • Drag 'n roll
Focus points:
  • Attacker's take: at least forward for speed in the attack
    • Preferably sideways so that he is already running towards one goal and also creates space near the other goal
  • Make sure that the defender applies pressure immediately after passing, so that the attacker has to react quickly

Warm-up

Divide the group in pairs and put each pair at a cone/hat, which you have divided on the centre circle:

  • Leave the ball, which is at every cone, on the ground and let the whole group run around the circle;
  • Make sure every pair is standing at a cone with the ball;
  • Player 1 dribbles the ball to the centre spot and puts it down there;
  • On the way back (without ball), Player 1 performs exercises (e.g. knee lifts);
  • At the moment Player 1 returns, Player 2 starts the same exercises (e.g. knee lifts) and then retrieves the ball;
  • Repeat and be creative with the exercises.

Active dribbling and passing

  • The players form 3 groups
  • 2 players stand by 1 pilon and the other opposite.
  • The first of the two players receives the balls and plays the player across from her right in the feet. Then this one sprints to the player and stands by the pilon. 
  • The other takes the ball and plays the ball to the one opposite.  
  • This repeats itself.
  • Because they work in 3 pairs, they are nice and active. 
  • Variation:
  • There is dribbling with the ball at the foot.
