Description

DT – Defensive Transition ZONE 4  Pressure Can we win the ball back quickly and not allow the opponents to get into AO: Closest player presses the ball immediately. Press the ball with the players around it (more than one player), can we double team the opponent? Regain possession of the ball as quickly and as high up the field as possible.

COACHING POINTS: – Delay & Deny space Closest player closes down ball carrier. Prevent quick forward play! Delay (slow down opponent), deny the space and organize team shape. Players get the goal side and numbers behind the ball. CREATE DENSITY  Allows time for players to recover, tuck in to become compact & balanced
