Session Organization:

Field: 45x30 space with a halfway line and one Goal on a long side.

Coaching Points:

Keep your center of gravity low - Bend your knees and maintain an athletic position to react with agility and power.
Transition - Transition immediately to defend and pressure the attacker keeping them away from the goal.
Slow Down - Players must put the brakes on and slow down to make sure they are not beaten easily.

Progressions:

Overloads and under loads to throw players off balance.
