2 vs 1
Tactical Problem:  When to pass to a support player while being defended by one person.
Skill development: Passing while running and supporting from depth



Teaching Points:

Tactic

  •  Draw the defender to you and then pass to your support player.

Skill

  •  Lead your support player with the pass and use a "sympathetic" pass.

Description:
Students run in pairs toward a defender.  The ball carrier draws the defender and then passes to his/her support player who is coming from a position of depth.  When the pair reaches the end of the grid they turn around and come back.  Once they have returned the next pair goes.

  • One defender per grid who moves only laterally
