1v1 to goal with finishing
An attacker receives from the coach and attacks a goal with a goalkeeper while a chasing defender can counter into two mini-goals.
Rules
- Area 20×25 m in front of the goal; two mini-goals on the far line
- Defender starts on the opposite side and chases once the coach's pass is played
- Defender scores in either mini-goal after a regain
- Rotate attacker to defender; change goalkeeper every three minutes; max three per line
To make it easier
- Defender starts 3 m further back
To make it harder
- Make it 2v1 with a second attacker joining from behind
Coaching points
- Check the goalkeeper's position before shooting
- Shoot early when the defender is closing
- Low, placed shots with inside of the foot or laces
- Defenders get goal-side and slow the attacker
