Shoot and Defend 2v1.

This practice is a high tempo shooting and defending exercise designed to improve accuracy and power in shooting and transition to defending. This is also a good work out for your goalkeepers.

Coaching Pointers:
Divide players into three equal groups. Groups are labelled A, B and C. Goalkeepers is placed in goal.

The practice starts when a player from line “A” attacks goal to shoot. After shooting he must transition quickly from attack mode to defense and defend a player from line “B”. After the play breaks down, player “A and B” now defend player C, to make it a 2v1. The exercise is then repeated in that sequence. Rotate lines frequently.

Focus On:
Accuracy over Power.
Quickness of transition from offense to defense.
Goalkeepers shot stopping.
