1v1 Defending Technical Warm-up

1v1 Defending with Technical Warm-up.

Warm-up: partner jockey progression before starting activity above.

Players: Addi, Isabelle, Emma, Abby, Kelly, Malena (or Bianca)

1) A passes ball to B. B dribbles and attempts to score in small goal. A closes down quickly and forces wide. After play is over, A has to perform dyanmic side shuffles through the long poles.

Rotate after finishing sides.

2) Same as #1. But now A adds a block to the side shuffle

3) Same as #1 but now A goes through backwards through the long poles.

* Have other grid exactly the same but mirroring so players work on defending different angles.

Coaching points: Close down quickly, low stance and and round your run. What happens if you run straight at attacker? (goal is wide open)

*Teach what goal side means!

Defenders need to be tenacious
