Oxfordshire FA is pleased to present the latest edition of coaching videos, produced by our Nike retail partners, Discount Football Kits. 

This series focuses on 1-v-1 drills that incorporate a range of skill-based attacking and defending scenarios for players to improve their awareness, confidence and ability.

Turn & Play

In this particular drill, one player dribbles the ball into the arena. Once there, they turn and play the ball to their opponent who enters the field of play also. A 1-v-1 situation is then active. This drill tests ball control, reactions and shooting accuracy.
