How do we create a 2 vs 1 situation?

Two players, an attacker and a defender, are situated on the goal line. Ten meters in front of the defender, a second attacker dribbles the ball toward him with the intention of beating him individually or passing the ball to his teammate on the left. With a triangular pass (direct or with not more than two ball touches), the attacker on the goal line returns the ball immediately into the run of his teammate who positions herself behind the defender. The latter, without leaving the goal line, tries to intercept the first or the return pass.

Points to consider when EXPLAINING a 2 vs 1

To select the best instant for the pass.
To understand whether it is more effective to pass or dribble into a less defended area.
To execute a dummy pass, then suddenly accelerate and dribble past the surprised defender.
To receive and control the ball on the run.
To always be available for a pass, adapting to the play of the ball carrier

Set up two wide goals (about 8-10 meters in width and about 18 meters away from each other) for each field. Divide the children into two-player teams. Each play lasts three minutes, during which two players of one team alternately attack the goals opposite each other. Each goal is defended by one opponent only. To score, one of the two attackers has to dribble (control) the ball across the goal line.

The attack is concluded when

a goal is scored,
a defender (who has managed to gain possession of the ball) passes toward his teammate in the opposite goal,
there is an infringement by the attackers (after an infringement, a free hit is awarded to the defender, whose task is to pass the ball to his outlet player in the opposite goal).
After an infringement by a defender, the attackers choose between a pass to the teammate or a penetration dribble (in the event that his partner is marked closely). Whenever the ball is turned over the defenders try initiate a counter attack.

Independent of the result of the counterattack, the next 2 on 1 should be directed toward the opposite wide goal. The duration of the game is two attacking and two defending periods of 3 minutes for each team.
