Repeat so that the ball is moving to the right, passer moves to the left and each player receiving is pressed.

2 - Allow pressing players shape to force play a certain way. Passers can decide weather to pass left or right and move to the opposite mannequin or cone.

 

 

Technical Coaching Points: 

  • Defenders should accelerate and decelerate on the approach keeping balance and on their toes for the last yard to ready for any tricks or quick moves. 
  • Angle body away from goal when closing down. 
  • Body Shape, angel their body and use their arms for balance whilst jockeying to show defenders one way.
  • Movement, as the ball travels defenders should look to move quickly to engage quicker with the attacker.
