Defending in Pairs - Defensive Organisation (15 mins)

Organisation

Create area as above using pitch geography to add realism.

8 Players required, split into 4 pairs.

Red players to remain within middle area only.

Yellow and Blue Players to remain within their areas.

Green players to play outside the middle area.

Instructions

Play in blocks of 2 mins - rotate pairs.

Passing below waist height to begin.

Blue and yellow players seek to pass the ball to each other avoinding the red players in the middle and using the green players in order to play around the red middle players. Key aim for yellow and blue players is to try to split the red players.

Manage the opposition - High tempo required. Quick accurate passing. If passing slows, it allows the red players to retain their shape more easily. Short passes mean that the red players don't have to move too much. Aim is for the yellow and blue players to move the ball quickly over distance so that the red players are forced to move - gaps will then appear and split passes can be made. Support from behind to create passing lines - play off the screens shoulders. One touch if possible.

Progressions

1. Green players can only pass backwards

2. Allow a lob from yellow to blue players - but - red playerrs are then able to leave their zone and press yellow and blue players if appropriate eg. poor pass/miscontrol - good decision making required.

3. 2 touch only.

4. Introduce scoring - 4 points to middle pair if they gain possession or force the ball out of the area. 3 points for a split pass. 1 point for any other pass.

Coaching Points

Red players seek to block passing lines and press the green players to force them to play back rather than forward.

Press and recover.

Marking distances.

Discipline.

Compact.

Communication.

Intensity (forfeits)

Red players to be coached.
