Coach throws a ball to one center backs who then heads the ball clear, the pair then have to touch teh red line as that is happened the 9 passing a  ball wide for the 7 to dribble past the mannequin and then deliver across into the box. The Red center backs now have to clear the ball away and that is one rep. 

Block 1: work on the first header and stepping out 

Block 2: work on body shape when tracking back in touch to get hips facing up field 

Block 3: add an attacker to make the pair talk about who has the attacker while still tracking ball coming in. 

Restart points - keeper can clip ball to the blue 10 before ball goes wide, blue 10 and blue 9 throw ball for the red center backs, or pass them the ball to then clear or find the small goals.  

Key Points: - communication between the pair, hip position, movement off the ball,scanning,quick reaction from defense to attack, and attack defense transitions.
