1v1 Leftovers

High Rep, Fast Moving 1v1 Drill

Description of Drill: This is 1v1s without all the standing around. 

Set up 7v7 around the 8m (or 6v6 for international). The offense passes the ball around the outside. No one is cutting through, but you can skip pass and change the direction of the ball at any time. When the coach blows their whistle, whoever catches the ball next, goes 1v1 to the cage. The feeder will add in the next ball and everyone else will pass around while the 1v1 finishes. The coach will continue to release 1v1s one at a time until there are two remaining pairs. These are the “leftovers”.  You can either have them go 2v2 or end there and have them stay in for the next set of sevens/sixes.

Equipment Needed: A pile of balls, a whistle, and a feeder

Skills Emphasized:  1v1 dodging on the move. The defense is working on communication, properly opening up when off-ball and not having help.

Coaching Points of Emphasis:  Catching on a v-cut so you are already moving for your dodge.  The defense getting ready for a 1v1 and making good contact.
