Defensive Focus

Tackle Boxes

Setup as shown

Start as 1 vs 1 (A)

  • Attacking Player 1 runs down the line and collects a ball and tries to score through the goal at the opposite end (must pass demarcated scoring zone)
  • Defending Player 4 runs down the line of cones and enters the playing area to defend. They may not stand in scoring zone and must try to go to the attacker to make a tackle
  • If defender wins the ball then they can try to score at the other end

Focus on tackling techniques (body approach, wait for tackle timing, stay low)

Progress to 3v3 (B)

  • 1 passes to 4/5 or 6 and who then try attack 2 sets of small goals (they must dribble through to score.) 
  • 1/2 and 3 try to win the ball back and may shoot to one set of larger goals on sideline
  • Discuss channelling (one player tries to channel the ball-carrier to the tackler's strong side)
  • If there is a goalkeeper, use them in the single goal
