Step in to attack the ball and slide out to defend 1 v 1

Description

In this session we are focusing on stepping in to attack the ball and sliding out to defend 1 v 1. The drill begins with the player stepping in towards the pole/mannequin. The coach then throws the ball up for the player to attack and head clear. The player then instantly slides across to defend 1 v 1. The player with the ball looks to take the defender on and score in the small goal. The defender aims to deflect the player away from goal and intercept the ball. Each set should consist of 3 - 5 reps and should be completed at least two times per player each side.
