One Vs. One Drill
Purpose:
1. For attackers: to
practice dribbling, screening and turning with the ball to beat
a man.
2. For defenders: practice jockeying for the ball and
various tackling techniques.
Procedure:
The
squad is divided into small groups, each of which is split up
into two teams to play in area 20x15 yards, with a small goal at
both ends. Players in the two teams are numbered. The first from
each play one versus one: the player with the ball tries to
dribble past his opponent and score by pushing the ball through
the goal. If the player scores he then immediately defends his
goal against the next opponent while the beaten defender
retreats behind his own goal to await his turn to defend or
attack again. If the defender wins the ball he can score in the
opponent's goal - the more successful he is at dribbling, the
longer he will be in action. If the ball goes out of bounds, it
should be returned by other players so that play is continuous.
Development:
(a)
The individual who scores the most goals wins the game.
(b)
Extra points are awarded for a particular technique which is
performed successfully, e.g. front foot tackle, or beating a man
by playing the ball past him on one side and collecting it on
the other.
