Organisation

12-16 field-players and 2 goalkeepers take part in the exercise. There are 2 teams, red and blue. Players and equipment are arranged as shown. Both teams have their own goal. Players change after some actions or determined duration. The action starts by turns after each finish, but the coach always decides about which player gets the ball. The exercise needs 2 coaches or a server player to the right executing.

Description and Graphics

The soccer drill starts when the coach plays the ball to one of the players into the grid on the side. The player in possession is the attacker so he must beat the defender in 1v1 game situation and perform an accurate centring. The players in the middle position themselves and the attacker performs body fake and arrives at the goal area to score. The defender tries to block him. When the action finishes the soccer drill continues from the other side. When the defender tackles he becomes attacker immediately so the players' role changes in the middle as well.
