3v3 Press & Cover
Set Up:
Mid Def starts with ball plays into any of 3 att.
Closest Def presses att other 2 provide cover.
Coaching Points:
Who goes to press? Closest def to ball. Arrive as the ball arrives at attacker
What do the other 2 covering Def do? Provide cover by not being on same line as highest def and not to close to player you are marking.
Where is the first and second danger? First danger = player with the ball. Second danger = Next pass forward.
How do we defend this? Defend first danger by pressing defender shutting down as ball arrives and forcing attacker away from goal or covering def. Defend second danger by covering defenders cutting off pass forward. Do this by not defending on same line but on the second line tucked in and not touch tight to player marking but close enough to press if pass is made.

3v3 Recovery Run
Set up:
Def starts with ball play into 3 attackers
Def slow attackers down so recovering def can get back into cover.
Coaching Points:
When should 1st def start pressing? While ball is travelling press and arrive when ball arrived in side on position.
What should 2nd def do? Provide cover & let let pressing def where to force attacker (away from goal)
How can first 2 def slow down 3 attackers? Force attackers to play one side so they can't use the advantage of extra player and so recovery defender has time to come and cover.
What should recovery def do? Make a 'J' shaped recovery run to get goal side to provide cover.
Once ball is won what can we do? Counter create gap to play out to one of 2 goals (Represent wide Players)
