Defending Lateral Movement Races

Organization:

- Two players facing each other

- Coach calls out colors of 3 central cones for players to move to laterally

- When coach calls color of wide cones it is a race through that cone

- Duration for each set of players should only be 5-15 secs as this reflects game demands, can be adjusted for fitness levels

Coaching Points:

* Staying low, quick shuffling

* Turning and clearing hips to transition to sprinting

Adjustments:

- Move cones in middle to provide vertical movement with lateral movement

- Coach plus two attacking player options

- Defenders come in as sets of 2 working on pressure, cover, and cutting out passing lanes and splits

- Ball is played out by Red player to coach, defenders close down coach with the ball who tries to complete a pass to either red, or split the two defenders

- 2 pushups for defenders if a pass is completed to either Red, 10 pushups for defenders if a split is played and completed

- Swap out the 2 Reds every couple mins

Coaching Points:

*Bent run by pressuring defender to take away wide passing lane, but not too wide to open up split

Coaching Points:

*Be patient in possession

*Try to create splits to penetrate

*Dribble to commit defender
