The drills in this session have been chosen to get your players creating defensive triangles and closing down the attacking dangers.
What's in the Session?
We start with a fun defensive warm up game of Castle Ball. Once everyone is fully warmed up it's time to practice your team's cover defence, with three practices to get your players running out to meet the attacker and back-tracking to cover the space.
Once your defence are confident with sliding and covering one another we put their skills to the test with a final conditioned game of 6v6, just outside your team's goal area line - will your defence be able to cope with the pressure and implement the 3:2:1 system?
"It is not only useful for staff who are experienced but a valuable tool for those subject staff who have to take teams."
The variety of sessions across sports - sometimes we steal session ideas from one sport and use them with another.
As we enter the business end of the competition, we take a look at the remaining eight teams and the key talking points surrounding each side.
