1on1 Duel For the Youngest

This 1v1 soccer drill will help ensure your players are ready to play against their opponents.
The variations help teach players how to improve ball handling, learn the basics of direct actions and movements, one-on-one soccer skills, and dribbling.
Practising of 1 on 1 situations are also an excellent way for the coaches to teach the players a fun way to play the game while also being practical.

Description and Graphics
Variation 1: One player holds a ball in his hands. The players throw the ball to each other and they are waiting for the coach's command in the middle. The coach calls a colour and determines which player is the attacker. The players must react as quickly as they can. The attacker tries beat the defender in 1v1 to score to either of the two small goals. The defender tries to tackle to become attacker.

Variation 2: The players are passing the ball to each other with the sole of the foot. The coach calls a colour and determines which player is the attacker. From here the tasks are the same as in Variation 1.
