Exercise Objectives: This practice is designed to improve each player’s "one on one" dribbling skills.
Field Preparation 4 Players Area 10 x 20 yards 1 Ball Cones
Coaching Pointers:
Two players are positioned on each side of a grid 10 yards x 20 yards. The player with the ball starts the practice
by passing the ball to the first player at the opposite side of the grid. After passing the ball, the player immediately must defend the player receiving the ball. Using a variety of dribbling techniques the player in possession must reach the opposite end line to score a point.
The next two players then repeat the practice from the opposite side.
The speed of the practice should be increased gradually.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
Control the ball quickly.
Attacker the defender with speed. Don’t delay the attack.
Commit the defender by running at him.
Disguise your intentions through body fakes, head feints and moving the ball.
