Zone 1 (Both stations run at the same time)
Defenders (Blue) Simulate giving the ball away to Red
1 vs 1 between red and blue. Red can score by passing into pop up or run ball down the line and cross
Defender target is to show attacker down line and limited to a cross "No internal (9) passes" (GK look to claim Cross)
Can defender get close and engage
Zone 2
Blues pass to two reds who look to combine and shoot at goal.
Blues to slow down the reds and show away from goal.
Working on principles from the warm up - Press together as a pair "Don't let attacker see your number on your back"
(Progressions & Regressions):
Challenges - How many tackle blocks can you make
Conditions - Time limit
Targets - Limit to crosses only
