🔥 EXERCISE
1v1 Sideways - Shoot or Dribble

Players positioned as shown in the image, with the attacker on the side line and the defender on the end line. The coach starts the duel by passing the ball to the red player. At the same time, the defender (blue) enters the field to intercept the ball. The task for the attacker is to either shoot the ball into the small goal (located further away) or dribble it through the open goal set with poles. In the case of winning possession, the same task applies for the defender.
Coaching points
Attacker:
- Ball control (first touch and speed of dribbling);
- Quick pe*******on to gain space (progress in the game) to engage in the duel as close to the opponent`s goal as possible;
- Assessment of the defender`s positioning and decision on which goal is easier to score (if the defender blocks the possibility of shooting to the small goal, the attacker can try to `shift` the defender with their movement to create a passing opportunity or quickly attempt an attack towards the closer goal);
- Dynamics during direct duels with the opponent (speed of action);
- Immediate reaction after losing the ball, quick recovery to the opponent and attempt to regain possession.
Defender:
- Rapid reduction of distance to the attacker (engaging in the duel as far away from their own goal as possible);
- Limiting the opponent`s space;
- Proper positioning – in the case of using goals as in this game, the defender must block the small goal and direct the attacker towards the open goal to then attempt to intercept the ball;
- Focus on the ball (observation);
- Quick reaction after winning possession, immediate attempt to gain control of the field and pass the ball directly to the small goal.

🔥 EXERCISE
1v1 from the Side - `Shoot or Pass`

Players positioned as shown in the graphic, in two groups on the end lines near opposite corners. The exercise starts with a player from the blue group, who after a quick ball control takes a shot on the large goal defended by the goalkeeper. At the same time, the red player starts with the same task but in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, the blue player, after taking the shot, becomes the defender (transition A–O) and applies pressure on the red player. The exercise continues in a similar manner, with the red player becoming the defender after playing and chasing the next blue player. The coach determines the number of repetitions or sets a time limit for the entire game, and the team that scores more goals wins.
Coaching points
Attacker:
- Quick ball control (technical skills);
- Rapidly gain space (progress in the game) to quickly find oneself in a scoring opportunity;
- Control of the space behind (vision over the shoulder);
- Immediate reaction after passing to the goal (transition A–O).
Defender:
- Rapidly reduce the distance to the attacker (closing the gap);
- Attempt physical contact with the opponent (bodywork) or, if possible, move in front of them;
- Quick reaction after receiving the ball, immediate attempt to pass the ball to the small goal.
Remember Coach
It is worth remembering to organize this exercise on both sides, meaning to switch the position of the goals (small goal for shooting and open goal for passing) and the positioning of the attacking player.

🔥 EXERCISE
1v1 with Finishing on a Large Goal

Players positioned as shown in the graphic, side by side centrally on the end line of the field. Between them, the coach with the ball starts the exercise by playing the ball and indicating the player who plays in the attacking role (shown in red on the graphic). Automatically, the second player (blue) becomes the defender after going around the small goal and chases the opponent. The goal for the attacking player is to score a goal in the large goal, which is additionally guarded by a goalkeeper. If the defender intercepts the ball (or the goalkeeper saves the attacker`s shot), they attack one of the two small goals.
Coaching points
Attacker:
- Quick ball control (first touch)
- Quick gain of space (progress in the game) to quickly find oneself in the immediate vicinity of the large goal
- Control of the space behind (over-the-shoulder vision)
- Immediate reaction after losing the ball, quick recovery and attempt to regain possession
Defender:
- Rapid reduction of the distance to the attacker (closing the gap)
- Attempt to make physical contact with the opponent (bodywork), or if possible, get ahead of them
- Quick reaction after winning the ball, immediate attempt to pass the ball to the small goal
Remember Coach
To prevent the pressure on the player with the ball from being too low from the defending side, it is worth positioning the goals at the appropriate distance from the players at the start of the exercise. This means that a short distance from the goal will result in a quick reaction from the defender in the field (additional cones can also be used, placed closer to the players, which the player can bypass before entering the field).

1v1 with Finish on a Large Goal

Players positioned as shown in the diagram, close to each other in the center of the field. The attacking player (red) signals their movement towards the ball, indicating that they want to receive a pass, which they subsequently receive from the coach. The defender moves with them to maintain tight marking. The red player`s task is to finish on a large goal with a goalkeeper. After winning the ball, the defender (blue) must pass it to the small goal located on the opposite end line.
Coaching points
Attacker:
- dynamic movement towards the ball (increasing the distance between them and the defender);
- quick control of the ball (first touch);
- awareness of the space behind them (shoulder check);
- attempting to quickly turn and face the direction of attack;
- immediate reaction after losing the ball, quick recovery and attempt to regain possession.
Defender:
- maintaining tight marking and, if necessary, quickly reducing the distance to the attacker (closing the gap);
- if possible, using bodywork when the opponent receives the ball (disrupting their rhythm);
- controlling their positioning and preventing them from turning to face the goal;
- quick reaction after winning the ball, immediate attempt to pass it to the small goal.
Remember Coach
It is important to remember to organize this exercise on both sides, i.e., swap the positions of the goals (small goal for the pass and open goal for ball progression) as well as the positioning of the attacker.

Task-oriented game with direction (7x7+2N Game)

The task of the starting team is to build the game and create a situation in which the ball reaches the player in position number 9, working on the end line of the field, using neutral players from positions 7/11.

When the defending team receives the ball, their task is to maintain possession for 20 seconds. If they succeed, they start the game from the beginning. Both number 9 players enter the game at the start by the building team. The team that starts the game and manages to pass the ball to number 9 earns 2 points, and additional points are earned after completing 5 passes. The game ends when the ball leaves the field.
