Main Activity~15 min
Arrange a starting point with two attackers facing one defender and a goal. The coach or a queue player serves the ball to the two attackers. Attackers attempt to score before the defender can stop them. After a shot, goal, or defensive clearance, rotate roles. Play continuously with new groups entering immediately.
- •The ball-carrier draws the defender before releasing the pass
- •The support player makes a well-timed run into space
- •Pass when the defender commits; dribble when space is available
- •Finish calmly — quality over power in the final action
