Whites move around the area, oranges follow close behind.

Whites must try and get throigh the orange gates set up either end of the square, oranges must try to tag them before they can 'escape'. Speed and deception of the attacker (white), pressure of the defender (orange). Attackers must use multi changes of direction. Consider single and double moves.

Add a time target of 5 seconds for the attacker to escape. Add a point incentive for both players and a forefit for loosing player, pairs to keep thier own scores.

Each pair to get a football and repeat practice with defenders aiming to steal the ball.

Emphasis on pressure of defenders, try to stay touch tight and bully attacker into making a mistake. Do not dive in unless you have to defend in an emergency to stop them from escaping.

Defender must force player out of the area if needed or try nd steal the ball if possible.

Move to the ball as quickly as possible, slow down when at a good angle to stop attacker and force wide or steal as above. Body must be at the correct angle to ensure attacker can not get past.

If attacker starts to shield or tries to escape, defender must get touch tight. do not let the attacker turn!!!! force back towards thier own goal. Defender must hold strong and not move back or jockey backwards.
