2v2=3

Organization

• 2 field divide on 2 half 
• 2 teams

Instructions

• 2v2 +1
• attacking teams start with the ball 
• if defending team need to win the possession of the ball on the defensive attacking half to  unlock a player to create a 3v2 

Coaching Points

•  the defenders need  to engage the ball higher, shutting down any space in front of them.
• The second defender's job is to tuck in to support the pressing players, once the ball moves across it's then their job to go and be the first presser and engage the ball.
  
•  players need to stay ball side and in line with the ball/goal to allow them to show the opposition away from the goal.
