LOGIN2v1 questions
Get your players working on 2v1s in tight and wide situations. This is a good session for both backs and forwards working together.
WHY USE IT
The different widths of the channels make the style of pass different. This is a good session for both backs and forwards working together.
set up
A 15m box, split into a 5m and 10m channel; a cone; a ball; a 20m box for the game situation.
HOW TO PLAY
ACTIVITY: Put two players 5m behind a feeder on the middle line. Put a defender 5m in front of the feeder.
Indicate which channel the ball carriers must attack and then release the attackers and defenders. The defender has to touch the ball carrier with two hands or intercept.
DEVELOPMENTS: Put three attackers at one corner of the box and a defender on the same edge about 5m away. The ball is fed to the first two attackers, who aim to beat the defender in the narrow channel. If this defender is beaten, the attackers then use both channels to do the same. It is best if you use at least scrag/grab tackling or full tackling.
GAME SITUATION: Put a defender in the middle of the box and one on the corner, with three attackers at the other end. They attack into the box, having to beat both defenders without the ball carrier being touched.
COACHING POINTS
- Ball carrier: Attack the defender hard; don’t take up the supporting player’s space.
- Supporting player: Find the space, accelerate onto the pass.
- Put a defender at the end of the box, between the channels
- Put a feeder in between the channels and halfway up the box
- Indicate which channel to attack and both sets of players come forward
