N v. 1 Keepaway: Nv1 progression is a keep-away game. It starts with one defender. The rest of the players, the attackers, try to pass the ball around to keep it from the defender. Usually, the defender does well to start until the attackers start to improve spacing and decision-making. Once the attackers start to dominate, one at a time convert attackers to defenders until the sides are even or close to even. Keep playing with even sides for a few minutes. [Note: When the NE Revolution warm up before games, they always include a healthy dose of keep-away. Using keep-away as part of pre-game warm-ups correlates to the team playing better.
