75% of 1 v 1s in the English Premier League are when you are facing your goal and someone is behind you. As coaches we generally coach 1 v 1s when you’re facing a player in front of you and you know where they are coming from. A variety is always important. You can set up

Seeing this a lot recently with youth ⚽️ clubs and coaches throw the word “development” out there but are very selective on who they develop and they call themselves player developers. Don’t just focus on the good players, focus on all players at all levels‼️

A game of ⚽️ is chaotic most of the time at youth level, so it’s not bad idea to design a practice where it creates problem solving and decision making while having fun. This can be adapted with number of players.
