1v1 - Side by Side

Develop a player's ability to beat a direct opponent in different scenarios by using dribbling, speed, and decision-making.

Explosive First Touch: • Players must react quickly and take their first touch away from the opponent to create an advantage. Change of Speed & Direction: • Attackers should use sudden changes in pace and direction to unbalance the defender. Awareness: • Encourage players to scan before receiving so they know where space and pressure are. Defensive Recovery: • If the defender loses the first challenge, they must recover quickly to block or delay the attack.
