In this dynamic 1v1 attacking practice, players engage in exciting duels within two 3m wide channels, each marked as Channel 1 and Channel 2.

The coach initiates the practice by passing the ball to the attacker (Player A), who receives it within the wider Channel 1. Concurrently, the defender (Player B) sprints into the inside Channel 2 as the ball travels. Player A's objective is to score by finding the back of either of the two target goals situated inside the penalty area.

Player B is restricted from entering Player A's channel (Channel 1); however, Player A is allowed to enter Channel 2 but cannot move beyond it towards the goals. Player B's primary task is to block crosses effectively to prevent goals from being scored. Yet, when Player A enters Channel 2, the defender gains the opportunity to tackle and win the ball. If successful, Player B then attempts to play the ball into the target goal at the opposite end of the channels.

PROGRESSION

To further challenge the players and enhance their skills, the coach can introduce the option for
the defender (Player B) to enter the attacker's channel (Channel 1). This modification will create additional opportunities for defensive pressure and encourage more assertive attacking moves from Player A.

This practice promotes individual attacking prowess, decision-making, and defensive awareness. Players will develop their ability to read the game, choose the right moment to enter the opponent's channel, and execute effective crosses and finishes. Regular repetitions of this exercise will improve players' 1v1 attacking capabilities and contribute to their overall offensive prowess on the field.
