Objective & Coaching Points

For the attacking team to make 2 v 1's. Identify where the space is against the defender. Defender trying to win the ball and absorb the attack and potentially use the GK to create a 2 v 2. You also have the sideline as a defensive friend as the attacking players can't go over this.

Extension & Progression

You can change the numbers to make it 2 v 2. You can also add the sides together e.g. one side plays a 2 v 1 then they stay in and add the other side together.
