Welcome to the FineSoccer Drills Newsletter. Today’s featured activity works on one touch passing and attacking in a game situation.
This is a small sided game (although it can be 11 v 11 on a full sized field) with only two limitations.
A player can only play one touch
The only exception so rule 1 is if they attack a defender or the goal with their first touch.
As an example, in the picture below the black team has the ball.
The player can pass one touch or can dribble directly at the nearest defender or direction to the goal
The player can NOT dribble in any other direction
The idea of this activity is to get the players to play quickly, keep the ball moving (one touch passing) or attack the defender or goal. Too often players will dribble toward space not realizing they are limiting their opportunities.
[wpsharely id="1204"][/wpsharely]Any touch that violates one of the two rules results in loss of possession.
Have a great day!
