2v1 ground ball to goal

Setup

Three players start together at the top of the box, one as the lone defender. Coach rolls a loose ball. The pair that wins it goes to goal as a 2v1; the single defender plays it. Rotate roles.

Coaching points

• Ball first: win it, then think
• Scoop and move it right away to the open teammate
• Defender: play the ball carrier, then recover
• Vary the start: sitting, facing away, on a knee
