60 SECOND DRILLS: OPPOSING ENDS
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.
Opposing Ends
In this particular drill, both players start on either end of the pitch. The ball is played in for one player to take a free shot on goal. Immediately after doing so, another ball is played to the opposing player who is then tasked with scoring in the other goal through a 1-v-1. This drill tests connection, quick thinking and 1-v-1 skills. Keep posted for future instalments!
