This Drill Highlights:
Creating opportunities
Footwork
Forcing
Description:
Set the drill up by matching one feeder with an attacker and defender. The feeder stands on the midline and attacking and defending players stands on the restraining line. The defender needs to work hard marking her, as the attacker works to get open. Staying in her spot, the feeder passes the ball to the attacker. If attacker gets the ball, she and her defender take a 1v1 to goal. If the defender gets the ball, she passes it back to the feeder. Build this drill up by making it a 3v3. Feeder 1 has to pass the ball to A2 or A3, not A1.
