  Joe Soccer by Gregg Thompson

   

1 vs 1 vs 1  
 Dribbling Game   
1 vs 1 vs 1
 
 Playing ..
  • Place 3 cones approximately 15-18 yards apart in the shape of a triangle
  • Split players into groups of 3.
  • Place 2 groups of three players at each coned area.
  • One group of 3 plays 1 vs 1 vs 1 while the other group of 3 rests.
  • Each player plays as an individual.
  • No out of bounds (within reason).
  • The object of the player in possession of the ball is to score goals by hitting a cone with the ball ... the 2 players without the ball attempt to stop the attacker from scoring and try to gain possession of the ball to score themselves.
  • Each player plays for himself/herself. The player in possession of the ball is always dribbling against 2 defenders.
  • After a defender has gained possession of the ball, he/she becomes the attacker and attempts to score against the 2 defenders.
  • After an attacker loses possession of the ball, he/she becomes a defender and attempts to win the ball back and score.
  • After scoring a goal, players must dribble at least 5 yards away from the cone before scoring at the same cone again.
  • Play is continuous until a player scores 2 goals.
  • First player to score 2 goals is the champ.
  • Once a player scores 2 goals, that group of three players rests and the three players that were resting come on the field and play 1 vs 1 vs 1.
 Coaching Points
  • Attackers should dribble and attempt to score at goals that are open (not as well defended).
  • To score goals ... attackers should use fakes, change of speed and change of direction.
 Competition, Variations& Restrictions:
  • Play a tournament where the winner from each group of 3 competes in a team championship for the practice. Have the other team members watch and cheer.
