1 vs. 1 to Goal Point of Service - 1/3 field
Here player 1 checks to get service from any of the perimeter players and tries to beat the defender 2 and finish. Encourage the defender to play aggressively and to try to intercept service where possible and if the attacker does receive the ball, to deny the turn and shot. The attacker should be deceptive, showing to one side and then sharply changing directions and demanding service from another point. The middle pairing should be changed after one minute so that players are playing at speed throughout.
Variations
- Serves are thrown or chipped in to the target.
- The servers near the end line back out near the touch line and play crosses.
- After finishing, the attacker (1) becomes the defender, the server who last played in becomes the attacker, and the defender goes to the open cone.
