1v1 Lanes

Set up

• Set up a number of 10 by 10 grids with an end zone at each end.
• One player in each colour per grid.

Balls, bibs and cones. Several 10 by 10 grids so everyone plays at once.

How to play

• The first player passes to the second, who tries to dribble past and score by stopping the ball in the end zone.
• If the first player wins the ball they counter attack by dribbling over the far line. Getting to the line is a point.
• Players rotate roles and rotate around the grids to face different players.

Keeping everyone moving

Rotate opponents by moving one grid clockwise, never by score.

Three things to say

• First touch, attacking at speed.
• Feints, turns and protecting the ball.
• Defending: body shape, close down, don't dive in.

Safety: Keep the area clear of bags and bottles. Stay on your feet, no slide tackles. No heading.

Keeping score: Each child keeps their own count and tries to beat it next time. Nothing is compared between children.
