Defensive principles. (30 mins)

Organisation

Areas as previous screen.

All play starts with the deepest White player.

Use the 18 yard line as an offside line.

How to Play

White team objective is to score.

Red team defend the goal and can clear to a target player if they are unpressured.

Focus is on the Red team but Blues need to be managed, to make realistic combinations to create scoring opportunities.

Possible Coaching Points

Recognise key defensive points (18 yard line and 30 yards from goal).

Stay compact.

Communicate.

Pass on runners (Don't follow).

Squeeze a yard if you force play backwards.

Open body position to keep track of attempted blind-side runs.

Defensive Principles. (30 mins)

Organisation

Remove the box and play in half a pitch.

Target player from previous practice becomes a crosser (either side to simulate overlapping full back).

How to Play

Whites are encouraged to attack without using the crosser.

All play as before (match tempo, Whites use combinations to break lines etc).

If the attacks are stalled, the target player can be used to cross (maximum 2-touch).
