1v1 Technical Drill | Sharpen Passing, First Touch & Dribbling All at Once

Overview

• An individual technical session where one player works one-on-one with the coach
• Field size: 20m x 20m
• Sharpens first touch, passing, and dribbling control all at the same time

Objectives

• Players naturally rep passing, first touch, and dribbling inside one flowing sequence
• Crank up the intensity without letting the technique slip
• Take the coach’s feedback and put it to work right away, fixing things on the spot

Setup

The player and coach face off and sharpen their technique in a flowing, game-of-catch rhythm.

1) Starting positions: The coach and player stand about 5-10m apart inside a 20m x 20m field

2) On the go signal, the coach plays a soft pass to the player

3) The player controls it with the first touch and returns an accurate pass to the coach

4) Once the coach receives it, they dribble lightly on the move and play it back to the player

5) Repeat this cycle, building up the intensity little by little

6) Run each set for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and repeat for 3-5 sets
