Defenders run out toward attacker, delay attacker, allow them to attack all the way through the cones, but keep good positioning the whole time. Progression: Now defender shuts down attacker, delay patiently until attacker makes a mistake, then intercept the ball. Attacker scores through red cones. Progression: Now 3 v 3, each player must stay in their channel, defenders apply pressure if ball in their channel, if not they drop off in support. Progression: Take away middle cones, it is now 3 v 3 in the whole grid. Score on one central goal
Positioning: Proper body positioning. Stay between the ball and the goal, angle body toward a side. Shuffle feet, shoulder width apart. Patience: Delay properly, and wait for the attacker to take a long touch. DO NOT STAB.
