Community | Defence Body Angle Practise

Sharon Garner Coach, England

DESCRIPTION

Working in a small space, first practise the body angles without a ball. Drill 1 - Straight Drive A driving hard up in a sraight line, then pulling back in straight line. D to angle body so that they always see A and F. Drill 2 - Angled Drive D driving at angle with the A but not overstepping so that when A runs back, the D can force them back in straight line and not allow the cut back to the centre channel A should be on the D's back. Do both sides for both drills. Start slower then intensify. Then add in a ball! When you add in ball, key will be accepting that the A recieving the ball high (close to F) is fine, but preventing that ground-gaining back pass must be prevented and that's the big victory! PROGRESSION Still working in a small space, work solidly to prevent the back pass. A can move in any direction, but D trying to dictate the space. Work for about 25 seconds, then swap or reset. It's high intensity! How many lifted back passes can the D prevent or intecept?

COACHING POINTS

Feet under body Angled body Hips turning so always in direction of travel Eyes on ball and attacker at all times! Get the attacker on your back! What is a success? You can't get every ball, so accept that forcing a short ball and preventing a long ball is a victory!
