Description

1v1 Defending Principles

To be successful in defence, players need to understand the both the Defensive System in place and the technical competencies of 1v1 defending. This session introduces the physical, psychological and tactical components of 1v1 defending, which set's the foundation for each defensive system.

Coaching Points:

1. Body posture and movement;

2. Communication and covering the first defender;

3. Dominating the space of the attacker;

4. Identify when to recapture possession.

Themes:

1. Deny the forward pass (DENY)

2. Deny the shot on goal (DEFLECT)

3. Deny the dribble (DELAY)

(All players involved)

Equipment: futsal balls, bibs

Messi Time + Tails

Set up: All players need a ball and a bib. The bib tucked into the side or back of their shorts.

Variety of ball manipulation 1v1 exercises (repeatition of lateral movement exercises)

After each period of ball manipulation - the coach calls out, "Tails!". Players leave their ball, and need to try to steal other players' bibs to add to their collection.

Timing: 30seconds ball manipulation / 10seconds of tails

Time allocated for FIFA 11+ activation exercises

Block 1 - Level 2 - Defensive Organisation

(All players involved)

Equipment: futsal balls, bibs, flat disc markers

Defensive Organisational Reminders:

1. Body posture and movement;

2. Dominating the space of the attacker; and

3. Identify when to recapture possession.

Exercise:

Step 1: One player with the ball (attacker) dribbles around the grid while the player without a ball (defender) passively shadows their movements (not trying to recapture the ball).

The defender should use lateral movement to track their defender, avoid crossing their legs, keep a low centre of gravity by keeping their knees and hips bent, stay on their toes for agility and keep their hands up for balance.

Step 2: At any time, the coach yells out a number of one of the gates (one or two). The attacker must try to dribble through the gate that corresponds to the number that was called. The defender attempts to prevent the attacker from achieving this.

Ideally, the defender will:

- initially protect the goal, by getting themselves between the attacker and the target gate to delay the attackers progress;

- adopt good body posture and positioning and then dominate the space fo the attacker; and

- only attempt to win the ball back when safe to do so.

Step 3: The exercise is concluded when either the attack was successful, the defender wins possession or a time period (as definded by the coach) has been reached (eg: 10 seconds).

Note: Players should be instructed that once a pair has finished their action (ball is won by defender, attacker was successful) they should remove themselves from the immediate vacinity of the target gate to avoid getting in the way of other participating players.

Rotation: After each coach call, the attacker and defender switch roles. After four calls, the players switch partners.

Block 2 - 2v2 Defensive Organisation

(All players involved)

Equipment: futsal balls, bibs, flat disc markers

Players: 2 x attackers and 2 x defenders (or 3 attackers, vs 3 defenders)

Defensive organiation reminders:

1. Body posture and movement;

2. Communication and covering the first defender;

3. Dominating the space of the attacker; and

4. Identify when to recapture possession.

Exercise:

Step 1: Goalkeeper starts with the ball, rolling out to

Step 2: The two attacking players try to create a goal scoring opportunity against the defending team.

Note: The first defender should position themselves where they deny the forward pass (angled approach 1v1). They should then apply enough pressure (using good defensive posture and movement) to force the attacker away from the center of the grid, towards one of the edges of the court.

Note: The second defender should always be goal side of their attacker while being deeper (behind the line) of the first defender. This allows them to provide cover in case the attacker beats first defender. The second defender must be ready to apply pressure if a pass is made to their attacker.

Note: When the defenders have dominated the space of the attackers and forced them into a vulnerable position, they should look to recapture possession of the ball and head towards goal.

Step 3: The exercise is concluded when either the attack was successful, the defender wins possession and has an attempt on goal or a time period (as definded by the coach) has been met (eg: 10seconds/ 20seconds/ 30seconds).

Rotation: Attacking teams have three attempts on goal before rotating out and swapping with the resting players.

Reflection:

Give players a chance to get together as a team to reflect on their defensive coverage, and suggest solutions to experiment against problems they are experiencing.

(All players involved)

Equipment: futsal balls, bibs, flat disc markers

Contraint:

Silent in possession - attacking team must remain silent whilst playing - defending side can communicate to each other.

Owners - Maintain possession if you score and attack the opposite end. (Make the goal, keep the ball) - defenders stay defending to solve issues.

Reflective questions to ask after training:

Which teammates work the hardest off the ball? Who are the leading voices in the group?

AND

When were you at your best today, and what were the key ingredients that enabled you to be in that place?
