• 1 white cone positioned in the middle, 5 yards beyond the channel

• Now with a player on the white cone (attacker), the defender will play a pass to the attacker
• The attacker now dribbles the ball, changing direction and making their way to the other side
• The defender follows their pass and applies pressure, but without touching the ball
• The aim for the defender is to slow the attacker down and jockey them all the way back
• The defender and attacker now swap positions

Set Up

• Pitch is set up as normal
• 2 shaded areas at each end measuring 5 yards in length and being the full width of the pitch
