Attacking Decisions Training | 1v2 & 2v2 With Recovery

Attacking Decisions Training | 1v2 & 2v2 With Recovery

Overview

  • Players U12 and up
  • Players who want to speed up their decisions
  • Players who want to cash in on numbers-up situations
  • Teams looking to sharpen their fast-break mindset

Objectives

  • Scan faster the moment the ball arrives
  • Make the dribble-or-pass call in a split second
  • Attack a 2v1 edge before it disappears
  • Learn to read and handle a defender getting back

Setup

Grab 10 players and a field around 30m x 36m. You’ll work through a 1v2 phase into a 2v2 phase step by step.

1)Two defenders set up in their marking spots.

2)An attacker receives and takes them on with either the dribble or the pass (1v2).

3)The instant the ball is received, a defender starts recovering, turning the 1v2 into a 2v2.

4)The attackers try to get a shot off before the defenders are fully back.

5)Run it several times so everyone gets reps on both attack and defense.
