BEAT THE DEFENDER - 1V1 AGILITY GAME

BEAT THE DEFENDER - 1V1 AGILITY GAME

Detail:

  • Players work in small groups, with two players active, as an attacker and defender, with the rest ready to become active.

  • The defender starts between the two cones, the “goal”, and must try to “tag” the oncoming attacker to come out and join the attacking queue.

  • The attacker aims to beat the defender and get through the goal without being tagged.

Progression:

  • Limit defenders to staying only between the two cones, working only sideways.

  • Add in a ball to increase the technical challenge.

Coaching Points:

  • Players should look to use lots of changes in direction, speed and body shape to try and entice the defender out of the goal, and get in behind them.

  • Players should try and use feints and disguises to trick the defender into moving in a different direction, to lose them effectively.

  • Players will have to think up various solutions to beat their opponent and make a very quick decision to pick the solution that they think is right.
