Gate Crash: 1v1

Set up

Field

Use an approximately 30x30 foot diamond-shaped area. Build two small gates with training sticks or cones, positioned evenly between the lines and about 30 feet apart.

Players

6 or more players. Form two lines: attackers with balls in one line and defenders in the other.

Balls

Give each attacker a ball.

How it runs

1. 1.The first attacker dribbles into the area and immediately decides which gate to attack.
2. 2.The first defender steps out to prevent the attacker from dribbling through either gate.
3. 3.The attacker can use feints, changes of speed, and body movement to create a way past the defender.
4. 4.If one gate is well protected, the attacker is free to change direction and attack the other gate.

After each rep

Rotate players after every repetition; the first team to reach 10 points wins the round.

How to win

The attacker earns 1 point by successfully dribbling through a gate. The defender earns 1 point by winning possession or forcing the attacker away from the gates.
