1v1 to 2v2

Set Up

  • 2 Teams
  • Each team forms 2 lines at the post of the goal they are defending
  • Opposite lines have the soccer balls
  • To begin the players with the balls pass at the same time to the players across form them and run out to defend the girl that she just passed the ball to.
  • These players go 1v1 trying to score on the goal they are attacking
  • Once a goal is scored or the ball goes out of bounds the game becomes 2v2 as long as the other ball is in play.
    (If the goalie makes a save, she rolls the ball out to her teammates and the ball is still in play.) 

Key Points:

  • Start with basic ball striking repetition.  Use dummy defenders.
    • Low far post, bend the ball, fake and shot, one touch shot ect
  • Vary up what you are doing.  Shoot from distance to set up the fake shot and move in closer
  • Set up your moves so you are in a good shooting position
  • Create the window
  • Use the defender as a screen
