Induvidual defending technique

Two players together,facing to each other.Attacking players start moving forward while his partner in this case defender droping back and working on his defending body shape.Players first start without the ball then add the progression with ball and introduce tackling technique,

Players must stay side on,constantly on their toes,keep distance.Forcing the attacking player to one side to make play predictible.Use your upper body and arms to make contact with attackers and prevent them to get infront of you.Hips rotation is very important if attckers change direction,never turn back to the ball. Good balance and lower body gravity to be ready for acceleration.Be ready to tackle the ball.

Defend your zone

Players are divided into attackers and defenders,all players must play both roles.

Phase 1,coach pass the ball into one of the attacking zone (az),when player in (az) receive the ball defender from same zone will apply the pressure on the ball and close down ball carrier quick as he can.Attacking player try to beat defender and dribble the ball to the defensive zone (dz) if defender wins the ball he passes the ball back to coach.Game start with 1v1 in each zone where we intorduce pressure on the ball and closing down ball carrier,progression is to 3v3 where attacking players move the ball in other zones but they cant step into other zones.Same rule applies for defenders.Communication between defenders is key,who pressure the ball who covers,body shape to see the ball and see the player.Force attackers to one side,make it predictible.Stay compact.

Phase 2,freedom of movement for all players but keep the same defensive principles.This phase is more chalenging where players now have to defend a goal.
