1v1 Channels to End Line

Build confidence to take players on 1v1 and finish the action by getting to the end line under control.

Several narrow channels side by side. Attacker with a ball at one end, defender at the other.

1. Defender passes to the attacker to start, then closes them down.
2. Attacker tries to beat the defender and dribble over the far end line.
3. Score a point for getting over the line in control.
4. Swap roles each go; rotate channels to face new opponents.

• Attack the defender at pace — make them turn.
• Use a feint to unbalance them, then explode past.
• Keep the ball close until the moment to go.
• Finish over the line in control, not a wild touch.

• Attackers slow down at the moment they should accelerate past the defender — the change of pace IS the beat.
• The first touch on receiving kills momentum — attack the defender with the first touch.
• Defenders stand flat and reach — reward defenders who force the attacker onto their weak side.

• Add a time limit per rep.
• Two-touch finish over the line.
• Widen to 2v1.

• Passive defender (jockey only).
• Wider channel.
• No defender — just dribble at speed.

• Must beat the defender — no going around the channel.
