The 1v1 Lanes Game

To develop players' individual 1v1 skills, focusing on attacking, defending, and decision-making under pressure.

Setup: • Divide the pitch into 4 zones with mini goals at each end. • You need four teams of four players (you can flex the zones & numbers). Warm-Up: • Use setup as an unopposed activity where players practice dribbling & ball control from one end to the other, and then the next team can go. 1v1 Game Setup: • This is a team game (4v4) but players are restricted to their zones and must defend and attack within their space. • Once a team concedes a goal, they exit the game, and a new team enters. Progression/Finish: • Remove the zones after a set time and allow free movement across the entire pitch.
