Setup As Shown: 30x40. area. Create passing box 5x10 by one endline with 4 cones. Player B start cone 8 yards from box. Defender (C) start cone is 10 yds from box.
Activity: Keeper will play a ball out to player A. Player A will take a touch to receive and then play a pass into the passing box. Player B and defender C cannot leave until the ball leaves A's foot.
B's objective is to get on the end of the pass and go for goal.
C's objective is to read the pass and intercept if possible or close down and defend if not.
If defender wins the ball can score by dribbling through the high gate.
Coaching Points Focused on Defender C:
Read the pass
Close down quickly
Angle of run
Body shape and position (Side on, knees bent)
Patience if can't win the ball right away.
