1v1 to End Line Duels

Two players compete in a 12m channel where the attacker scores by dribbling over the defender's end line and the defender scores by winning the ball and dribbling over the attacker's line. Because both can score by attacking, this forces the defender to stay compact and patient rather than diving in, and trains transition the instant possession changes. Players rotate after each duel so everyone gets repeated reps under real pressure with direction. The coach observes whether players recognise the moment the ball turns over and react instantly.
