Wide Lock: 1v1

Set up

Field

Use half a field with gate goals positioned roughly 30-35 yards from goal. Mark an area slightly larger than the penalty box, about 35x35 yards, using the quarter of the field nearest either goal.

Players

6 or more players. Set the attacking team in a 3-2 shape with five players. Set the defending team in a 3-1 shape with four players plus a goalkeeper.

Keeper

Yes.

How it runs

1. 1.The defender begins by dribbling forward unopposed and taking a passive shot at the goalkeeper without trying to score.
2. 2.The defender then turns and closes the attacker, who receives a thrown ball from the goalkeeper.
3. 3.The attacker goes directly at the defender and tries to beat the 1v1 and score.

After each rep

After the repetition, players return either to the opposite lines or their original lines according to the coach's preferred rotation.
