1v1 Receive and Turn — Defender Chooses the Shoulder

Set up a 15×12m area. Server passes to Attacker who is back-to-goal. Defender marks from behind, choosing to approach from the left or right shoulder. Attacker must feel/see the defender, receive, and turn away from the pressure side, then dribble to a gate 8m ahead. 8 reps, rotate roles every 4.

1. Scan over both shoulders before receiving — know where the defender is. 2. Receive with the foot furthest from the defender — protect the ball. 3. If the defender is on the right shoulder, turn left — and vice versa. 4. The turn is sharp — inside hook or pull-back, not a slow rotation. 5. Accelerate immediately after the turn — don't pause. 6. Keep the ball close during the turn — don't push it too far.

• Defender can approach from either shoulder at full speed — less time to read.
• Limit the attacker to two touches — receive and turn in one motion.

• Defender is passive — light pressure from one shoulder only.
• Server tells the attacker which way to turn before the pass.
