Attacker starts facing away from goal and must turn under pressure before attacking one of two small goals, while the defender starts with a head start and must sprint back to recover.
Coaching Notes
Instructions
Attacker receives the ball with their back to the two small goals. On receiving, the defender (who started 5m behind) sprints in to recover. Attacker must turn away from pressure and attack either small goal. Swap roles after each rep.
Learning Points
Receiving under pressure with an open body shape, quick decision on which goal to attack, defensive recovery speed and angle of approach.
Variations
Start the attacker facing the goals instead of away, changing the practice into a straight 1v1 race.
