1v1 Defending Technical Warm-up (15 mins)

1v1 Defending with Technical Warm-up.

1) Have defenders start opposite side of goal and they have to defend the shot by rounding their runs, closing down quickly and forcing them wide. Important to close down but not dive in.

* Have other grid exactly the same but mirroring so players work on defending different angles.

Coaching points: Close down quickly, low stance and and round your run. What happens if you run straight at attacker? (goal is wide open)

*Teach what goal side means!

Defenders need to be tenacious

- If the 5 win it they have 10 seconds to get a shot off.

When is the best time to go forward? (As soon as you win the ball)

Coaching Points: Have to trust each other. Good Shape and Balance. What are the cues to start the press? (when ball gets played wide, that triggers OM to press and force wide.
