Skill Development: 1v1 defending and blocking

Objective: Red takes 2 touches and attempts to score. White tries to block. Then runs accross to block yellow (also two touch), then defends 1v1 against black. 1v1 can not score till past line of confrontation (blue line)

Progression: Black can turn and play next person in line to change the angle of the 1v1. 

Alternative's: Add a central goal with a keeper for the 1v1 and / or when black passes back make a 1v2 to work on defending when outnumbered.

KEY MESSAGES/POINTS: Block with correct foot (right/right - left/left), 5 P's of defending (Pressure, predictable, position, patience and power)

Skill Development 2 (20 mins)

Skill Development: 1v1 with interceptions

Objective: A passes to B who needs to take 2 touch around mannequin and score. White will then attempt to pass their ball to hit ball on cone. B needs to intercept ball before white can score. If he does he drives 1v1 vs C. If he fails C gets another ball and goes 1v1 vs B.

Progression: Move Mannequin and replace with another player. Now instead of C shooting across for the block they go 1v1 vs new player (D). B now can recover and make the game 2v1.

KEY MESSAGES/POINTS: Block with correct foot (right/right - left/left), 5 P's of defending (Pressure, predictable, position, patience and power)

KEY MESSAGES/POINTS: Role of the full back to Press when ball goes wide, nearest center mid offers cover in center while other defenders shift across, far center mid covers middle looking for any passes that come across field and center forward takes away the deep option to switch and doubles if possible to win possession.
