dribbling, 1v1, finishing · U10+
The player starts dribbling toward the first defender and tries to beat them in a 1v1 situation. After getting past, continues to the next defender and finishes with a shot on goal. Defenders are passive (U10–U11) or active (U12+).
The defender is approached by slowing down, the feint or change of direction is clear, and acceleration follows immediately after beating the defender. Combining dribbling, beating a player, and finishing.
Do you slow down before the defender? When? Do you accelerate immediately after beating them? Do you lift your eyes to the goal before shooting?
