DESCRIPTION

Players form 4 lines inside the 18-yard box. The first player from each line will become the back line of our defense as the WB, CB, CB, and WB. Four dummy players will be lined up in front of the defenders, numbered 1-4 from L to R. Coach will call out a number of the player that "possesses" the ball. Players will provide Pressure, Cover , and Balance as we have discussed. Try several times with each group and then rotate.

COACHING POINTS
