Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• Penalty Area (+15yrds) with a full size goals as shown in Diagram 1. Approx. 44x30 yrds, this should be increased for more advanced players.
• 3 lines (A,B,C) with a collection of balls at each line.
• 3 cones at approx. 30yrds from goal as the start positions for each line.
• 2 gates (shown in red and blue cones above) positioned on the edge of the penalty area. Each at an angle.
• GKs (If more than one the should rotate after each sequence of 3 attempts on goal).

Instructions

• Lines go in sequence with specific player rotations.
• First player from Line A (A1) dribbles unopposed and performs a feint move and accelerates through either the red or blue gate before shooting.
• A1 then becomes the defender (D1) for Line B dribbling in. A1 defends against B1 1vs1 who dribbles in from Line B to try and beat D1 (formerly A1) to score.
• B1 now becomes a defender (D2) as Line C sends in C1 who's players with D1 in a 2vs1 to goal. Coach/Assistant monitors for off-sides.
• Following this sequence the players all rotate to the next line (i.e. A1 goes to Line B, B1 goes to Line C, C1 goes to Line A. If at any point a player acting as a defender wins the ball they pass out to one of the lines. Defenders can be initially passive (i.e. play at 50-70%) in needed to build confidence.

Scoring

• The lines can be split into team to compete against each other.
