Video Series Introduction

This series focuses on 1-v-1 drills that incorporate a range of skill-based attacking and defending scenarios for players to improve their awareness, confidence and ability.

Behind The Goal

In this particular drill, both players start on either side of the goal line. One player passes the ball behind the goal to their opponent. That player’s first touch must take them into the arena, activating the 1-v-1 situation. The attacker’s job is to score in the goal farthest away while the defender’s job is to recover and prevent their opponent from scoring. This drill tests ball control, dribbling and shooting accuracy.
