1v1 Skills Practice

Develop players’ ability to dominate 1v1 situations through repetition, movement, and combination play. Focus on timing, disguise, and execution of 1v1 actions in different orientations.

There are three variations across one setup. Start with one and progress from there. Left Setup (Linear 1v1 with Dribble Transition): 1.Player 1 passes to Player 2. 2.Player 2 receives, immediately takes on Player 1 in a passive 1v1 duel. 3.Player 1 receives a new pass from Player 3 and takes on Player 3. 4.Player 3 then receives a pass from Player 2 and takes on Player 2, and so on. Middle Setup (Wall Pass and Bounce Combination into 1v1): 1.Player 1 passes to Player 2, who opens out to one side. 2.Player 2 plays a pass to Player 3, who has opened to the opposite side. 3.Player 3 returns the pass to Player 2. 4.Player 2 immediately takes on Player 3 in a 1v1. 5.All players move up one cone after each cycle. Right Setup (Third Man Play + 1v1 Return Phase): 1.Player 1 passes to Player 2, who opens out to one side. 2.Player 2 bounces to Player 3, who drives forward and turns. 3.Player 3 passes to Player 2, who passes to Player 1. 4.Player 3 moves to the bottom and opens out. 5.Player 1 plays Player 3 and then goes to middle zone (opposite side to Player 3) to start the sequence again (with Player 2 at the top).
