Oslo React & Finish 1v1
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 8 | Pitch size: 50x50
This reactive finishing practice combines coordination, reaction speed and 1v1 decision-making. Two teams start opposite each other, with one player from each team working simultaneously through their own agility ladder using quick footwork.
After completing the ladder, both players meet in the central area. At this moment, the bottom player reacts to a trigger and breaks either left or right to collect a ball and attack the goal in a 1v1 against the goalkeeper. The top player immediately transitions into a defensive role, reacting to the attacker’s movement and attempting to recover and stop the goal-scoring opportunity.
The practice encourages fast reactions, sharp transitions and realistic 1v1 finishing scenarios.
• Footwork Quality: Emphasise light, quick steps through the ladder while maintaining balance and control.
• Reaction Speed: Coach attackers to explode immediately on the trigger and commit to their chosen direction.
• Attacking Intent: Encourage positive, direct play in the 1v1—attack space, commit the defender and finish decisively.
• Defensive Recovery: Reinforce quick reactions, recovery angles and controlled defending to delay or block the shot.
Delayed Trigger for the Defender:
Give the attacker a split-second head start before the defender can react.
Focus: Encourages aggressive attacking play and confident finishing.
