2v1 Wall Pass or Dribble to Beat the Defender (Groups of Four)

• Set up a small goal with markers at each corner of a square. The four players each stand in front of one.
• Use two balls; the players with a ball stand at neighbouring corners, so they are not diagonally opposite each other.
• One of them passes to the player diagonally opposite, closes them down, and stays on as the defender.
• The player who receives the pass pairs up with the player from the other pair who doesn't have a ball, and they attack 2v1.
• Beat the defender with a wall pass or a dribble, and aim for the goal between the markers ahead.
• When it's finished, the pair on the other diagonal starts. Repeat.

* If the defender wins the ball, you can simply end it there (adapt freely)

RULES: none in particular

Note: adjust the area size according to how often the situation you want actually happens.

• Add a feint: pretend to pass and dribble, or pretend to dribble and pass
• Draw the defender in before you act
• Change speed (from slow to fast)
• Pick the moment when the defender is leaning forward
• Don't try to go past the defender on the side where your supporting player is
• If the defender deals with the one-two and you can't get in behind, stop and receive again
• The return pass of the wall pass is played into space
• The player acting as the wall watches their teammate's situation until the very last moment before passing

• Once the attackers can get past easily, adjust the defending side. If the defender presses while cutting the passing lane to limit the attacker to the dribble, or if you teach how to respond after the pass has been played, the difficulty for the attackers goes up
• If 2v1 is easy, try a 2v2 practice
