Set Up:
There are 12-15 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. Before the drill begins, the defender moves into the center of the ‘D’. From there, the Feeder starts the drill with a pass to either attacker, and the two players release with the first touch. The attacker must beat the defender and dribble thru the gate in front of him before finishing on goal. If the defender wins the ball, he can score in the small goal set up outside of the penalty area. Players should rotate to all positions during the course of the drill.
Coaching Points:
1. Put the defender under pressure by taking the ball at him at speed.
2. Change speed and direction while feinting. Get the defender to stick a foot in.
3. A positive touch towards goal creates a better shooting angle.
Progressions:
1. The attacker can dribble thru either gate before going to goal.
