2v1 Attacking Session | Sharpen Timing and Combination Play

Overview

• Runs with 12 players
• Play on a 50m×30m field
• Set up as 2 attackers vs 1 defender

Objectives

• Get your two attackers timing their passes and runs together to beat one defender
• Build a toolbox of combinations — overlaps, underlaps, and more
• Read the picture fast in tight space and finish with a shot
• Have players read the defender’s movement and problem-solve their way to goal

Setup

The two attackers pick the ball up at the halfway line, take on a lone defender in a 2v1, and go for goal.

1）Split your 12 players into 2 attackers, 1 defender, and a feeder

2）The feeder plays the ball into the two attackers at the halfway line to start the rep

3）The attackers use their combinations to beat the defender

4）They attack the goal and look to finish

5）Rotate roles every 5 attacks so everyone plays every position
