One on One

Aim/Focus:

• Practice taking the ball past players
• Improves tackling skills

How to Play:

• Mark out several lanes – 5m x 20m.
• Assign 2 players to each lane – 1 attacker & 1 defender
• The defender is aiming to dispossess the attacker as many times as possible before the attacker reaches the end of the lane, without committing a foul.
• The attacker must hop/solo the ball as they progress.
• Emphasis is on good body position, quick feet, and near hand tackling

Progression

• Make lanes wider – attacker has more space.
