THE SESSION:

Warm up session to help get players prepared for a Pressing/Defending session.

1-Players run diagonally to each cone. At each cone they slow down and get into a balanced body shape when defending closely in 1v1 situations (Player or coach to demonstrate and take through key points) before accelerating and repeating the process at each cone

2- Same as 1 only now the players at each cone take a step back, adjust their feet and body postion (talk to the players about why they may need to do this, the oppostion player having good control and as a defender we then may need to adjust the distance between attacker and ourselves and may need to change our body postion)

3-Now 1st player presses the 1st cone. As he does this a second defender takes a covering postion behind him/her. After a second or so the 2nd defender presses the second cone and and the first defender takes up a covering postion behind him/her

KEY POINTS: 

-Quickly out to close the distance (Jump to Press)

-Put the brakes on (slow down)

-Body shape/Stance (low down, side on)

-Move feet, short steps, balls of feet
