1v1 Carousel

To improve players' ability to effectively attack and defend in 1v1 situations by focusing on dribbling, ball protection, decision-making, and applying or resisting pressure in tight spaces.

Dribbling Technique: - Keep the ball close & use small touches when approaching the defender. - Use feints and changes of direction to unbalance the opponent. Decision-Making: - Read the defender's body position & decide whether to dribble, shield the ball, or change direction. - Focus on quick decision-making to exploit available space. Body Position and Ball Protection: - Teach players to use their body to shield the ball when under pressure, ensuring they remain balanced and in control. - Emphasise turning away from pressure to create space. Defensive Pressure: - Stay low & balanced, delay the attack rather than diving in. - Anticipate the attacker’s moves and close down space effectively.
