Pressure (defending)

Pass ball back and forth, when coach says stop, the person that has the ball, stops it while the other one pressures. The defender does not take away the ball, after they pressure, play resumes. 

Look for speed, one foot in front one foot behind while pressuring

Pass ball back and forth, when coach says stop, the person that has the ball, stops it and shields while the other one pressures. Let them shield for like 5 seconds, then the play resumes

Look for keeping the ball away from the other player while shielding the ball. Make sure they use their boby to and arns to shield the ball, player shielding need to make themselves look big

Pressure/Cover

Pass ball back and forth with 3 players now, when coach says stop, the person that has the ball, stops it. The closet players pressures, while the other one covers (shaded area) play resumes after 5 seconds or so

Look for keeping the defenders not to be in a straight line while defending. One pressures, the other one covers. The covering player should be in a position to cover the space and also cover of the player gets beat.

After you can add a progression "player with the ball needs to 'split' the defenders"
