An exercise for agility, speed and coordination that trains attacking 1v1 at speed as well as shooting technique and finishing. Players work in pairs and constantly swap roles as attacker and defender. The course consists of cones, hurdles, poles and a goal with a goalkeeper. Both start at the top of small triangles, run diagonally to the cone on the right with quick feet and then move back with defensive footwork, repeat to the left, sprint to the poles and weave, and jump over the hurdles with both feet. The player on the left runs to the coach's ball, shoots and then takes a defensive position after touching a cone. The player on the right takes a ball in the middle, accelerates and pressures the defender in a 1v1 to score. The defender may only tackle along the line between two cones. Jog back and swap roles.
