Receive and Attack Face-to-Face

Develop a player's ability to receive under pressure, scan, and attack 1v1 with purpose and end product

• Players start in two pairs at opposite ends of the pitch • Player 1 passes to Player 2, who loops around a flat cone to receive facing forward • As soon as Player 2 receives, Player 1 becomes the defender and presses • The receiving player now attacks 1v1 • The attacker scores 1 point for finishing in a mini goal, or 2 points if they dribble through a coloured gate • Players rotate after each repetition and switch roles • Players must work both left and right sides to develop scanning and receiving on both feet • Emphasis on timing the press and opening the body to play forward
