Setup

It’s a 1v1 in a small 12m×12m grid where an attacker takes on a defender and tries to finish.

1）Mark out a 12m×12m area, put the ball in the middle, and set a mini-goal on each side

2）The attacker takes a pass from the coach

3）The defender pressures from behind and tries to stop the attacker from turning

4）The attacker uses turns, dribbling, and passing to attack the goal

5）The rep ends on a shot or a goal, then swap roles
